                                      Elizabeth2     unfinished $645.00    lacquered  $775.00

                            Straight out of a fairy tale, the Elizabeth will look beautiful in your home.  The twelve

                            spoke wheel and intricate turnings are crafted from New Zealand Silver Beech - for a

                            truly elegant wheel. The Elizabeth is a double drive wheel specifically for spinning fine

                            worsted yarns, but also has a scotch tension option for softer woolen yarns.

                           4 bobbins and lazy kate included.

 

                            Tradtional    unfinished $390.00   lacquered $490.00

                            If you're starting out and looking for a good first wheel, I would suggest the Traditional

                            with scotch tension. This is our most popular wheel because it is so versatile.  It's easy to

                            use for learning, and you can then buy simple add-on kits that allow you to adapt the wheel

                            to specific types of spinning as you begin to experiment more.


                            It is available in single or double drive, and if you are left handed we've created a version

                            especially for you. 4 bobbins and Lazy Kate are included in the kit.  As you can see, it is

                            also a classically styled wheel made from beautiful New Zealand Silver beech, so it will look

                            great in your home

 

                                     Traditional Spinning WheelTraditional Double Drive    unfinished $435.00  lacquered  $515.00

                           The same popular wheel as the scotch tension traditional, but with the benefits of both

                           double drive for fine worsted yarns and scotch tension for softer woolen yarns. This wheel

                           will grow with you. Simply buy the add on kits later to allow you to spin different types of

                           yarn.

                          easy to take it with you to workshops, and spin-ins.  The wheel is made from solid New Zealand

                          Silver Beech and comes complete with 4 bobbins, threading hook, learn to spin booklet, and

                           built in lazy kate.
