The Kromski family of Poland has been making spinning wheels for the last three generations of their family.

The look of the Kromski Spinning Wheels is unique and the quality is superb. No other wheels on the market have the attention to details, the depth of wood turning that you will find in these wheels.

If you are looking for a first-time wheel or want to add to your collection by buying a wheel that will be different from what you have come to expect, consider a Kromski spinning wheel. The prices are exceptional, but so are all aspects of these wheels.

The KROMSKI SONATA
Now shipping with Carry Bag included + Freebies (see below)

One of our most popular portable wheels. Beautiful and compact, it combines the classic architecture of the other Kromski wheels with the functional needs of a wheel that folds. You get both.

It is a full-size spinning wheel that packs away as a small package, making it perfect for traveling, guild and festival gatherings or simply

Daniel Kromski had been contemplating a folding wheel for several years and began in 2006 to put turning knife to wood. The final result is a fusion of the needs of a modern folding wheel and the traditional look of Kromski wheels. The Sonata is a folding wheel, but much more. The wheel diameter is 19" and ratios are 6.7, 12.5 and 14 to 1. The flyer is single drive and uses an elastic drive band which simplifies changing speeds. The bobbins are the same design used on other Kromski wheels which means you can move from wheel to wheel with no problem.

The Sonata folds and sets-up easily and quickly.

Your Sonata also ships with a padded carry bag that the Kromskis have made in Poland. It is padded on all sides with extra heavy padding on base to support the folded wheel. Large outside pocket for spinning supplies with additional pockets inside. Green and silver canvas (see picture below).

Just the image you would expect a spinning wheel to take. You can picture the "ladies in waiting" gathered together in the castle spinning as a group, all on a Symphony. This is a very popular wheel for a moderate price and is sure to be a conversation piece in your home!

This wheel has the details spinners have come to expect with Kromski 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 charge). The bobbins will hold a full 4 oz. package of yarn and they fit on all the other Kromski wheels if you start a collection.

The Symphony is made with European alder and birch and with its antique look makes the perfect wheel for reenactors. Additional specifications:

• wheel diameter - 24"
• orifice height - "; size - 3/8"

This beautiful, compact, portable wheel 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. The third post will accommodate an optional distaff (pictured below). One of our most popular castle-type wheels.

The Kromski POLONAISE - Freebies with purchase (see below)

This wheel has the look of wheels from the Baltic area of Poland and Scandinavia. In fact, a well known spinning wheel historian has said that the manner in which this wheel is built is as close to being historically correct as he has seen. This will be a plus for spinners wanting the "real thing" and for the growing community of reenactors. The amount of decorative turning on this wheel is substantial, making it a sight to behold.

Kromski Bobbins — Capacity - Kromski bobbins are much larger than many other bobbins. Read about it here.

Kromski Jumbo Bobbins

Kromski Tensioned Lazy Kates

You can choose from two styles of lazy kates (see above). The arched version comes standard with all Mazurka and Symphony wheels; the upright Kate comes standard with the Polonaise. Prices DO NOT include bobbins.

These three-bobbin kates are distinctive in their look as well as for ease of use and adapability should you have other size bobbins you wish to ply from. They hold Kromski bobbins, of course, but also Ashford (standard bobbins), Jensen, Reeves, Timbertops, Roberta (regular), Majacraft and Lendrum (regular and very fast bobbins).

Extra Whorls: these are additional sizes; the Extra Large (slower) whorl for the upright wheels gives a ratio of 4:1 with the Mazurka and 4.5:1 for the Minstrel. The Extra Small (speed) whorl gives a ratio of 25 to 1 with either the Polonaise or Symphony. The Extra Large (slower) whorl for the Symphony or Minstrel gives a ratio of 5.5 to 1. Shipped unfinished.
