the castle spinning as a group, all on The Symphony.

products - lots of finely turned wood, attention to detail, and all
the features spinners ask for.Start with a good size wheel
diameter - 24" - that rotates on bearing sleeves that contribute to
effortless treadling. The double treadles are well engineered to be comfortable through long spinning sessions. The flyer is double drive but also has Scotch tensioning for single drive use (and no additional

and they fit on all the other Kromski wheels if you start a
collection.

Kromskis of Poland, is going to set new standards for
castle style wheels. It features a wide, steady base for the double
treadle operation and the wheel, which is larger than many upright
wheels - 18". The wheel is easy to mount on the two support posts.

lines and a larger base to accommodate the larger wheel
diameter and the double treadles. It is a double drive wheel but comes
standard with Scotch tension set-up if your prefer the single drive feel. A
threading hook and extra whorl are conveniently stored up front for
easy access.The bobbins will hold a full 4 oz. package of yarn and
