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.

The Kromski PreludeThe newest spinning wheel from the Kromskis of Poland. The Prelude 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.
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). |
KRO-119 - Prelude, unfinished $349 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. |

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 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:
Like all Babe wheels, it is made of PVC pipe. This one is so light (4 lbs.) you can lift it with your pinkie! Wheel diameter is 12", ratio is 3.25 to 1 and orifice height is 20 1/2". It is a single treadle wheel. It comes with 3 bobbins, ball bearings for easy turning, a Lazy Kate for plying, 1/4 lb. of wool roving to get you started and Babe's Sure Foot to keep it from sliding on the floor. The price cannot be beat! Shipping within the continental US is included!
