Big Box Charkha Wheel

Charkhas are the perfect wheel to use for spinning fibers with short staple lengths such as cottonsilkangora or any fine fiber. 

This Big Box Charkha is larger than the Book Charkha and Box Charkha which makes spinning on it a bit easier and faster.

Imported from India.

Features:

  • Closed Size: 16" x 9" x 3.5"
  • 3 Spindles
  • Cotton Drive Band
  • Skeiner
  • Ratio: 100:1

Everything folds up into a case that has the contours of a hardback book. Ideal for spinning short staple fibers such as cotton or lamb's fine wool into fine yarns. Also good for silk, angora, cashmere, dog hair, or any fine fiber.

Note: this product is a true charkha wheel handmade in India. As such, each wheel will have slight cosmetic differences. While these charkhas are made of teak and carefully finished (unlike many charkhas we have seen coming out of India), they cannot be expected to have the same fine finish an American spinner is used to seeing in western wheels. It is just the nature of the product as made and used in India. We hope you enjoy your charkha, a very efficient tool and a sure conversation piece!
