The Kromski Prelude is a tiny wheel with the same high-quality craftsmanship as its bigger cousins. It has a distinct characteristic that allows it to be easily moved about for events such as historical festivals and reenactments. With an 18″ diameter, the Prelude can play at a variety of speeds and ratios. The Kromskis’ first single-drive-only wheel was the Prelude. It features a single treadle and Scotch Tension. The slant bench is linked to a built-in lazy kate that can store two bobbins, allowing you to create an extra thread. The Prelude is an excellent wheel for beginners since it is inexpensive and simple to assemble, but it also has enough components and functions to last a lifetime.

I adore my Interlude. It has everything I wanted in my first spinning wheel, and is beautiful to boot. Its petite size is perfect in my small hone studio. The Woolery’s customer service is always so helpful and supportive in answering my questions!

One of Kromski’s most popular wheels for commuting. Kromski’s new folding wheel combines the historic architecture of its prior wheels with the practical requirements of a folding wheel to create a beautiful and compact wheel. You will get both of them. It’s a full-size spinning wheel that folds up into a little container in this example. This makes it ideal for travel, guild meetings, and storage when not in use. The Sonata is much more than its ability to fold. Sonatas come with cushioned carry cases handcrafted in Poland by the Kromskis. cushioned on both sides, with additional cushioning on the bottom to assist hold a rolled-up and stored wheel. There includes a large outer pocket for spinning materials, as well as plenty of inside room.

I really like this wheel. It spins well, the bobbins are pretty big, and it folds up pretty easily. The color is also quite nice. This is my favorite wheel I've ever used.

This well-made double drive spinning wheel has ball bearings in the wheel axle and is available in cherry, maple, or walnut. This wheel is unfinished and must be completed before it can be assembled. It comes with a double treadle and a lazy kate for storing your accessories. It has a maximum capacity of four bobbins. The wheel has a diameter of roughly 28 inches with overall spinning wheel ratios of 8:1, 12:1, 15:1, and 18:1. You may choose a right-handed or left-handed wheel with the scotch tension option.

I love this wheel. It spins like a dream. Easy to unpack, setup, and start spinning! The maple wood is nice to look at as well. Very satisfied.

There are many ways to make a lot of yarn for yourself or a small business. e-Spinner 3 from Ashford is one of the best spinners out there right now because it is small and easy to use. This means there isn’t any need to walk. Because the direct-drive flyer is very quiet, it’s good for people of all skill levels. It can go from 0-1800 rpm. Controls for the motor are easy to use with your hands. You can turn it off and on with them. Change the speed and direction of the motor, too. Bobbin’s changes are quick and easy to do. You can take the e-Spinner on vacation, guild meetings, and in your car RV, or boat. It is small and can be taken with you to guild meetings, as well as on vacation. It’s also possible to buy a 12v car cord so that you can use it in your car, RV or boat.

Wow! Transformed my spinning. Without having to think so much about my feet I really concentrate on drafting. It’s so quiet and the battery pack is great too.

Lovely: This wheel is small and easy to take with you. It has a wide, stable base for the twin treadle action and a bigger wheel than many upright wheels. The wheel is easy to put on the two posts that hold it in place. If you want, the third post can hold a distaff. Some people think this is one of Kromski’s best-known castle-style wheels. There are more lines on the Minstrel, which is bigger than the Kromski Mazurka. It has a bigger base to handle the bigger wheel diameter and two treadles. A double drive wheel with a Scotch tension set-up is for people who prefer to drive with one hand. The Minstrel is made of European alder and birch and has an old look that makes it great for re-enactors.

I am in love with my new wheel! It was easy enough to put together and well made. When I did have a question customer service was amazing! The sample yarn was a nice bonus. I was up and spinning within an hour.

All of us know and love the Kiwi Spinning Wheel from now on. To make things easier to store and move, there are now folding treadles on the market. If you want to learn to ride on your own, this is a good wheel to use. It has simple ratios, a twin treadle, and a low price. There are two treadles on each side and ball bearings that make it easy to start and stop. The treadles are bent so that you can move your heel and toes in a natural way. When you change from one ratio to another, you don’t need to change the flexible cable that drives the wheel.  To keep track of the draft, use scotch tension, and it’s easy. People who spin right and left will like it. People, schools, and businesses can all use the wheel because it’s strong and easy to make.

Love the double treadle and scotch tension. The Kiwi 3 functions with ease. I am a new spinner and I find spinning techniques easy to learn on this wheel and I highly recommend.

A new item in the Kromski collection has just been put on the market. The idea and design are very complex, but so is everything else about it. You can tell it was made by Kromski because of this. Single-drive flyers have been added, but it doesn’t seem that way at first. There is no need to deal with a drive band to change speeds. Here’s a version of the Kromski Quick Change Flyer that you can use to change things up quickly. In order to change bobbins, the front of the flyer is just pulled off. The whorl can be moved at different speeds. In a very short amount of time, you can change the bobbins. Both the wooden spinning wheel and the wooden flyer are mounted on sealed bearings. This makes them very sensitive to touch.

I was so happy to get a spinning wheel for Christmas, and I could not be happier to have this as my first wheel. [...]

In order to be easy to move around, a smaller, lighter wheel is used It looks a lot like the Traditional in terms of design, but now it only comes with two treadles. A castle wheel that is light and small has four driving ratios that spin fine to medium yarn, and an optional giant flyer can spin chunky yarn. Starting the wheel is made easy by two treadles that bend to make a heel-toe motion that is easy on your feet. With ball bearings, you can be sure that your ride will be very smooth and pleasant. This spinning wheel with a castle theme is now for sale on Etsy, and it can be found there. They’re easy for people who are new to knitting to understand and do.

I have to say that this is my first spinning wheel. The shipping went smoothly. The instructions for assembling were clear and the wheel is quiet, smooth and efficient. I'm not new to spinning as I have spun on spindles for years. Converting to using this wheel has been easy and enjoyable. Thanks to the Woolery company.

An easy-to-use spinning wheel called the Schacht Ladybug looks like a bug. You can take it with you, and it’s small enough to fit in your bag. It’s good for new learners, too. The Ladybug is made of solid Schacht construction, and its unique design is both functional and charming. The Ladybug is made of Schacht construction. Easy to use and look at, too. There are built-in handles on the Ladybug, which makes it easy to pick up and move. It’s also not very heavy. People can buy Lazy Kates to put on their front legs. This also makes it easy to take along. When it is used in double drive mode, it has Scotch tension and can also be used. There are medium and fast flyer whorls that come with the Ladybug, and they help it fly. The slow and fast whorls can also be used for a wide range of ratios.

I wanted to wait to review my wheel until I took a class and began using it in earnest. It’s very easy to treadle and I’m really enjoying learning how to use it. It’s also every sturdy, which I appreciate as I move it around a lot. The little bit of assembly was easy and straight forward. The ordering and shipping process was also smooth.
