The most popular spinning wheel in the world. Why is it so popular? The proven design has stood for 40 years including: 

  • The separate drive band and bobbin brake adjustment is easy to understand and simple to operate.
  • The bobbins are quick and easy to change.
  • Scotch tension and 4 speed flyer allow for a wide variety of yarn to be spun.
  • Horizontal adjustment of the maiden bar allows perfect alignment with the 4 speed whorl.
  • Ball bearings and large 56cm (22inch) wheel makes treadling smooth and effortless and easy to maintain a steady speed.
  • The wide legs give good stability especially when speed spinning.
  • The treadle is pivoted to allow a comfortable heel-toe action.

Includes: Lazy Kate and 4 bobbins
