Kromski Fantasia Spinning Wheel - Unfinished is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Kromski's Fantasia Spinning Wheel has a unique magnetic flyer attachment and decorative curved accent, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced spinners. The Fantasia touts a sophisticated Kromski design in a modern wheel format, with sliding flyer hooks and interchangeable whorls. Available in Unfinished, Walnut, and Clear. Package includes 3 bobbins, spinning wheel oil, and a threading hook.
Many assume the distinguishing feature of a Fantasia is the curved lines of the weighted wheel accent, when it is actually the inconspicuous design of the flyer that garners the most recognition. This flyer design allows the spinner to easily and quickly transition from bobbin to bobbin without having to remove a drive band. The flyer itself is held on by a super strong rare earth magnet but easily releases with a snug pull, granting instant access to the bobbin. The flyer, bobbin and whorl are three separate components, allowing uncomplicated bobbin exchanges. Because the flyer and wheel rotate on sealed ball bearings, spinning on this wheel is effortless.
Features of sliding hooks: These enable the spinner to precisely adjust the yarn as the bobbin fills. The Fantasia has three interchangeable whorls available, allowing for multiple spinning speeds/ratios and giving the spinner a wide variety of yarn types to create.
