The Minstrel Spinning Wheel

Description

With an 18” diameter wheel, the Minstrel delivers the full impact of a larger wheel without requiring as much space. The orifice is positioned directly above the wheel and treadles, a design many spinners find more comfortable than an off-set orifice. This double-treadle wheel is rich in intricate, handcrafted wood turnings and can be adjusted for either double-drive mode or single-drive mode with Scotch tension.

For those spinning longer staple fibers such as flax or hemp, an optional distaff easily attaches to the wheel. The Minstrel is a charming yet highly versatile addition to any spinner’s collection, offering both historical elegance and modern functionality.

Jumbo Flyer kits enhance a spinner’s capabilities in two key ways. First, the larger orifice on the jumbo flyer allows for spinning a wide range of yarns, from delicate lace-weight to super bulky art yarn. Additionally, the jumbo bobbin holds twice the capacity of a standard Kromski bobbin. A regular Kromski bobbin already provides 50% more space than most industry-standard bobbins, with a generous 4.2-ounce capacity. The jumbo bobbin doubles that, enabling longer, uninterrupted spinning sessions and skeins with greater yardage—all without the need for frequent bobbin changes!

Now, Kromski is proud to introduce the Great Jumbo Flyer, specially designed for the Minstrel Wheel. Discover this incredible opportunity to expand your spinning possibilities today!
