Oh don't worry, I have been and will definitely be making the decision myself, I just thought it'd be nice to have some input from people I "know" regarding what they love about their wheels (or don't for that matter) but whatever.

But it's so individual. And really even as many as Mindy has had we haven't even made a dent in how many wheel choices there are. The matchless is not a starter wheel, at all. I started with it and while I never spun I knew what I was getting before I got it. I am also super experiences with wools and yarn along with other crafting so spinning was not a stretch for my hands to pick up. It might not be so easy for others? Idk. Also you need to look into taking a lesson to make sure this is something you are going to like. If you think knittin is a slow hobby, spinning will drive you mad.

Mindy and I have already posted about how much longer it takes to spin than knit and that's if you have a good fiber. If you get super compacted fiber it's really maddening.
