Sheep Crossing With equal parts of facts and fun, Sheep Crossing explores the world of sheep and wool, celebrating real people--especially children--working with sheep. It is a story told with images and music with just enough words to give background and structure. It follows children and adults working with young lambs and preparing for competition at fairs. It joins a contest where teams of children complete a "Sheep to Shawl" in just four hours, introduces border collies and their trainers and visits spinneries in Vermont and New Hampshire. 30 minutes. To complement the video the authors are making a lesson plan available.

Spinning |

The Kromski PreludeThe newest spinning wheel from the Kromskis of Poland. The Prelude is just the wheel for beginners or perhaps a second Kromski wheel for others. It has the look of an antique wheel and the high degree of wood turning that the Kromskis are famous for, but it also has all the touches modern spinners expect. The Kromski Prelude is a single drive wheel; a first for the Kromskis. The good news is that it uses the same bobbins as all the other Kromski wheels. This means that, as you consider adding a second or third Kromski wheel, you know your bobbins will work with all the different models! The Prelude is easy to treadle, easy to transport, and has an 18" diameter wheel (same as the Kromski Minstrel) for excellent ratios. If you like, you can swivel the mother-of-all in line with the bench for a more compact "package" when moving the wheel or for storage. The Prelude is made of European alder and birch. No Kromski wheel has any plastic parts and as such makes the perfect wheel for reenactors. Additional specifications:
This wheel comes boxed as a kit but goes together quickly. It is available unfinished or with a factory clear, walnut or mahogany finish that is exceptional (see a sample of the finishes further down this page). |
Receive Free 2-yard Niddy Noddy and 4 oz. of wool top (our choice of color) with your Kromski Prelude wheel purchase. Just complete the selection at right. |
