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
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 offers premium performance in a travel-ready package.
