Spinning stool

You need to sit just right to spin comfortably. With the Kromski spinning stool, you can. This sturdy stool has a contoured seat that will let you spin for hours. The legs have been turned so that you can make a permanent adjustment to the seat height from 17" to 18.5".  And if not for spinning, you will find this stool works well in a variety of settings.

Quick Change Flyer

Change bobbins on a double drive set-up easier.  The spindle on the flyer "breaks" at the base of the flyer allowing you to pull off the flyer and the bobbin without removing the whorl or the drive band from the whorl.  Comes with conversion parts, flyer and three Quick Change bobbins.

Mahogany, walnut

Once you spin your yarn you need to empty the bobbins and wind your yarn into a skein.
