Rated 4.8 out of 5 — 5 verified reviews
Polyurethane drive bands offer long wear and ease of adjustment. The band stretches so that you can change whorls and flyers without changing the drive band or (in some cases) adjusting your tension. This band is not joined together so it may be cut to fit and then joined. Includes instructions.
Note about stretch drive bands - with double drive wheels the drive band does two important things: it drives the flyer and it must slip properly on the bobbin pulley to permit take-up of yarn on the bobbin. We have found that the stretch drive band material we offer allows these two things to happen (with some types of stretch bands this does not happen). You may also use this drive band doubled-up, as a single loop only for spinning with scotch tension.

"I am really enjoying it and it was very easy to put on my wheel. Once fall comes around I will be using it alot"
"it's so nice to find all the things you need in one place"
"I delayed replacing the poly drive band on my Kromsky wheel for fear that it would not melt and bind well. I was pleasantly surprised that, by following your instructions, the result was great, and the wheel is in full use again."
"I got this as a drive band for an electric spinning wheel I made for my wife. Only problem is joining the ends on band as thin as this and then removing the lump around the joint so we don't get a thumping noise. Work in progress."
"Works great on vintage briefcase charkha with smooth join."
