Modern spinning wheels for flexible setups
Modern spinning wheels bring compact footprints, adaptable tension systems, and travel-minded designs to handspinning. The assortment includes wheels from Louet, Majacraft, Schacht, and SpinOlution, alongside selected flyers, lazy kates, and winding tools that support a wheel setup.
Choose the wheel before the accessories
Start with the kind of spinning you expect to do most often: everyday yarn, fine singles, textured yarn, or portable spinning. Then compare drive and tension options, treadle feel, orifice access, bobbin capacity, and whether the wheel folds or travels well. The Jenn-E electric spinner offers variable speed and selectable Scotch or Irish tension, while treadle wheels suit makers who prefer foot-powered control.
