A Unique & Eco-Conscious Spin on the Classic Kromski Wheel
Discover the Eco Fantasia, a sustainable and artistic variant of the beloved Kromski Fantasia. Celebrating the inherent beauty of nature, each Eco Fantasia showcases wood with its own distinctive grain patterns and hues, creating a spinning wheel that's as unique as the spinner.
Why the Eco Fantasia Stands Out:
-
Embrace Nature’s Artistry: Each Eco Fantasia is a celebration of nature’s diversity, featuring wood with distinct, darker grain lines and deeper colors. This makes every wheel uniquely beautiful, just like the trees they originated from.
-
Eco-Friendly Choice: By utilizing wood that might otherwise be overlooked due to its unconventional appearance, the Eco Fantasia represents a step towards more sustainable practices in crafting, reducing waste and honoring the natural world.
-
Artistic Flair: The distinctive look of each wheel adds an artistic touch to your spinning experience, showcasing your individuality and your dedication to ecological mindfulness.
Personalize Your Eco Fantasia:
-
Clear Wood Finish: Opt for a polished look with a clear finish that enhances the natural grain and beauty of the wood.
-
Unfinished Wood: Choose the raw, natural appeal of unfinished wood, perfect for those who prefer a completely natural look or wish to apply their own stain or finish for a personalized touch.
Features:
-
Modern Kromski Design: Retains the elegant, contemporary design of the original Fantasia.
-
Revolutionary Flyer System: Allows for quick bobbin changes without the need for tools, streamlining your spinning process.
-
Precise Control: The single drive with scotch tension system allows you to adjust the 'brake' to slow down the bobbin and have precise control over the take-up of yarn. Let the yarn wind onto the bobbin quickly or grip your fiber tightly to slow the take up and incorporate more twist - you're in control.
-
Instant Bobbin Access: The flyer itself is held on by a super strong rare earth magnet but easily releases with a snug pull, granting instant access to the bobbin. The flyer, bobbin and whorl are three separate components, allowing uncomplicated bobbin and whorl exchanges.
-
Seamless Operation: Enjoy smooth, quiet spinning thanks to sealed brass ball bearings (on treadles) and hushed plastic bearings in bobbins.
-
Adjustable Sliding Flyer Hooks: Gain precise control over yarn distribution on the bobbin.
-
Versatile Whorl Options: Comes with interchangeable whorls for various spinning speeds/ratios, accommodating diverse yarn types.
-
Sturdy Build: Features a robust wood frame and base, complemented by a durable MDF wheel.
-
Effortless Double Treadle: Designed for comfort, with brass bearings ensuring a fluid spinning experience.
-
Built-in Lazy Kate: Convenient 2-bobbin capacity for easy plying.
