Do any of you fine folks happen to know of anyone who repairs and restores old spinning wheels? I have a spinning wheel that my great-grandmother brought over on the boat from Norway, but it is in some sorry condition. I’m not sure if it can be repaired, but I’d like to try.
This guy does:

Full disclaimer – I have no idea where he is located, how that relates to where you are located, or the cost or quality of his work. I just like his blog 🙂
My first call would be Village Spinning and Weaving in Solvang. They know everyone and everything. http://www.villagespinweave.com/
We just got my grandfather’s old wheel repaired at Aardvark Clay in Santa Ana =)
I would find one of the spinning groups on ravelry.com and ask them for recommendations/reviews.
