Spinning wheel essentials
You have the wheel. Here's what helps you get spinning. This collection gathers the add-ons most spinners want in their first year: extra bobbins, lazy kates, niddy noddies, swifts, a ball winder, drive bands, wheel oil, a maintenance kit, jumbo and specialty flyers, wheel bags, and easy-to-spin fiber. Brands include Kromski, Louet, Majacraft, Schacht, SpinOlution, and Lojan.
What you need, in order
Start with extra bobbins, since you'll need at least three to spin two singles and ply them. A lazy kate holds full bobbins while you ply. When the yarn is done, a niddy noddy winds it into a skein, and a swift and ball winder turn it into a cake for knitting. Keep oil on hand for the moving parts, and a spare drive band for when yours stretches. Bobbins, flyers, and bags are made for specific wheels, so match your wheel's brand and model on each listing.
