Franco's Cardboard Charka Spinning Wheel

We have seen drop spindles made from computer disks. Have anyone heard of a spinning wheel made from cardboard?

Franco has made one.

Some time ago, Franco took one to the show and showed it to the Camp Angora occupants. We watched it with interest, but unfortunately no one took a picture.

Franco made another one recently and took pictures. He sends in the photos to share with us.

The top photo shows Franco using the cardboard Charka wheel. The second photo shows the point of the needle with yarn spinning. The third photo is the single ply yarn that Franco spun with the Charka.
