Old World craftsmanship meets modern innovation. The Sonata Encore is the next evolution of Kromski’s iconic folding wheel—now upgraded with a magnetic flyer head for faster bobbin changes, smoother operation, and better control. Built from fine European alder and birch, the Sonata Encore brings together timeless materials and portable convenience in a wheel that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
What’s new in the Encore edition:
- Magnetic flyer head (compatible with Magnetic Jumbo Flyer #27)
- Front-facing orifice with sliding hooks for better yarn distribution
- Double drive capability
- Quick-change whorls for expanded ratio options
Versatile across a wide range of spinning
The Sonata Encore is a versatile wheel for spinners who want room to work with different yarn weights, fibers, and spinning styles. Its standard setup is especially comfortable for finer through medium-weight yarns, while still giving you flexibility to experiment beyond that range.
If you want to spin bulkier yarns, art yarns, or tackle larger plying projects, the compatible Kromski Magnetic Jumbo Flyer Set (#27) expands the Sonata Encore’s capabilities with a larger yarn path and increased bobbin capacity.
Designed for travel, built for a lifetime
Unlike most travel wheels under 15" in diameter, the Sonata Encore features a generous 19.5" drive wheel and the tallest orifice height on the market—adjustable up to 33". It folds down in under 3 minutes and fits neatly into the padded backpack included with your purchase.
Whether you’re spinning at home or on the go, the Sonata Encore gives you the versatility of a full-featured wheel in a travel-ready design.
