The Kromski Minstrel Spinning Wheel

The Kromski Minstrel Spinning Wheel is a classic Castle-style wheel, seamlessly blended Olde World elegance with modern functionality. With its 18” wheel diameter, it delivers a full impact without demanding excessive space.

This double-treadle beauty, adorned with intricate handcrafted wood turnings, operates in both double and single drive modes. The vertical orientation enhances comfort for spinners, placing the orifice directly above the wheel and treadles.

The Kromski Minstrel Spinning Wheel is not just a wheel; it's a journey into the past, offering the charm of yesteryear every time you spin. It's a versatile companion, accommodating optional distaff for longer staple-length fibers like flax or hemp.

Embrace limitless creativity with the Jumbo Flyer kits, expanding your range from lace-weight to super bulky art yarn. The regular Kromski bobbin, already spacious, gains double capacity with the jumbo bobbin, ensuring longer, continuous drafts for skeins with greater yardage.

Now, take your Minstrel experience to new heights with the Great Jumbo Flyer, a remarkable addition designed exclusively for the Minstrel Wheel. Explore this incredible opportunity to expand your spinning possibilities and create with boundless imagination.
