What Customers Say

Rated 5 out of 5 — 5 verified reviews

This beautiful, compact, portable mahogany spinning wheel features a wide, steady base for the double treadle operation and the wheel, which is larger than many upright wheels. The wheel is easy to mount on the two support posts. The third post accommodates an optional distaff

One of our most popular castle-type wheels. Larger than the Kromski Mazurka, the Minstrel has stronger, bolder lines and a larger base to accommodate the larger wheel diameter and the double treadles. It is a double drive wheel but comes standard with Scotch tension set-up for those that prefer the single drive feel

The Minstrel is made of European alder and birch and with its antique look makes the perfect wheel for re-enactors.

High quality, solid and stable,

"High quality, solid and stable, initially I had difficulty with understanding the tensioning and the drive set-up but once I figured that out it became a very lovely experience. I find that my posture is easier to maintain and that makes it much more comfortable to spin for longer periods of time. I would highly recommend the Kromski Minstrel."

Beloved Wheel

"A beautiful piece of craftsmanship that has already spun me several ounces of woolly goodness. I was intimidated at first, but the classic design is easy to figure out and manage after getting to know her."

The Minstrel was my second

"The Minstrel was my second wheel but really my first (the first one and I didn’t click) It was easy to assemble and easy to use. I do not use the double drive but rather the Scott tension just because I feel not experienced enough. However, the results I have with this wheel are so nicely spun yarn even for me as a complete beginner. I am amazed and are now looking into purchasing a second one (different style) from Kromski that goes along with my minstrel. Beautiful wheel, easy to use even for beginners. 100% recommended!"

Kromski Minstrel Mahogany Spinning Wheel

"Got my new Kromski Minstrel Spinning Wheel for Christmas. Omg, there are not enough words to tell you how much I love it. I did a lot of research and comparison on spinning wheels before I decided on the Kromski. It's a Castle Style Wheel with double drive, which is very sturdy, and quiet. Spins great and I find the tension control so easy to adjust. I love how easily it treadles. I was concerned about the leather ties on the Treadles and wondered how they would work. OMG, this treadles nicer than the Ashford Traveler I tried out. The treadles spring back great and the leather ties are a great feature. Comes with a built-in Lazy Kate which is sturdy and works great. Love the fact the lazy kate is built on, don't have to worry about having one on the floor. Also makes a great place to store my extra bobbins. This unit is 100 percent self-contained. Easy to put together and the Mahogany finish is beautiful, looks like a piece of furniture. Highly recommend this spinning wheel. I can't think of one thing I dislike."
