Kromski Wheels

We are the UK importer for Kromski Looms and Spinning Wheels from Poland. (For more information about the Kromski family CLICK HERE).

With all wheels and drum carders we give a voucher to the value of £25.00 for the purchase of fibres.

All the wheels can be tried out at Wentworth where they are on display. We will give advice and demonstrations on the various types of wheel.

If you are planning to visit Wentworth to purchase and get advice about wheels and equipment please telephone us first. We have all the items in stock and can sell them to you but a few times a year we do not have anyone who can demonstrate as they are all out at workshops. It does not happen often but we do not want you dissapointed that there is no one here to demonstrate.

Please Note: Kromski goods are not available to buy through Ecommerce. Please contact us directly to place your order.
No further discounts are available on Kromski products. We do not export any Kromski products to the USA

Sonata

The Sonata is a full-size spinning wheel that folds and packs away making it perfect for taking around.This is a full size wheel that is simple to set-up. All parts are made form solid timber turned and moulded to give the classic look. The double treadle gives easy treadling with one or both feet,

The positioning of the flyer is at normal working height and of conventional design. Being fully supported at each end there is no possibility of accidental damage occuring in use. This design also allows the quick change to a jumbo large oriface flyer which is available as an extra as well as a high speed flyer.

The specially designed carry bag makes transportation easy, pack away time is less than 5 mins. Then the bag allows you to carry it by hand or as backpack as a nicely balanced load. This is one of the very few folding wheels that when in use looks like a normal wheel. For those who want portability with traditional wheel design this is the one to have.

Compare these features with any folding wheel being sold and the Sonata has a better specification, then compare prices and see what a great deal the Kromskis offer.

Minstrel

The Minstrel is setting a new standard for castle style wheels. It features a wide, steady base for the double treadle and wheel, which is larger than many uprights at 18". The wheel is easy to mount on the two support posts - the third post will mount an optional distaff.

Larger than the Mazurka, the Minstrel has stronger, bolder lines and a larger base to accommodate the larger wheel. It is a double drive wheel, but comes standard with Scotch tension set-up if you prefer the single drive feel. A threading hook and extra whorl are conveniently stored up front for easy access. The design is traditional European, the wheel with the additional stub spokes gives it classic looks and adds to the mass of the wheel to make treadling easy. The whole thing is well balanced and easy to move around having a sturdy frame.

A Jumbo Flyer conversion kit is now available for this wheel. It may require a small amount of woodwork to carry out the conversion on older and current wheels. It is designed to work with the very newest output from the Kromski factory but we of course still have wheels in our warehouse to sell. Please contact us for details. We do plan to carry out the modifications on our current stock to make them all easily convertable.

The Minstrel is made of European alder and birch.

Prelude

The Prelude has the look of an antique wheel, with the high degree of wood turning which the Kromskis are famous for. However, it also has all the little touches that the modern spinner expects. We class this wheel as semi transportable as it has the feature of being able to turn the mother of all in line with the frame to make an easy to carry package. If you want a wheel that does everything, takes very little space and is easily carried this does the job.

The Prelude is a single drive Scotch tension wheel. The drive band is self adjusting plastic for ease of use.

The Prelude is easy to treadle , easy to transport and has an 18" diameter wheel (the same size as the Minstrel) for excellent ratios. If you like you can spin the mother-of-all in line with the bench for a more compact package when moving the wheel. This shown in the close up of the stained wheel

The Prelude is made of European alder and birch.

This is the first single drive Scotch tension wheel produced by the Kromskis. It takes the standard bobbins of all the wheel range.

Jumbo flyer unit available as an optional add on.

• Wheel diameter - 40cm (18")
• Orifice height - 26"
• Bobbin size - 4 oz., 3 included
• Drive - Single drive with Scotch tension

Mazurka

The Mazurka has the classic  European look . The design of a wheel within a wheel gives weight to the wheel to make treadling easier and is a an un-usual design feature. This is the original wheel of Leon Kromski and is a beautiful traditional Polish design. If you want a wheel that looks good and works well this will fit your needs.

The Mazurka is made of European alder and birch, featuring both double drive and scotch tension spinning.

• Wheel diameter - 40cm (16")
• Orifice height - 32.5
• Bobbin size - 4oz., 3 included

Polonaise

This wheel shows all the design features of a classic Sandinavian/Baltic wheel. It is a big wheel which we would suggest is not really suitable for moving around in the car. It would add a graceful feature to any spinner who has the floor space for it. The design is faithful to wheels of the region having the correct functioning adjustments. For a wheel of this class the price really should be much more.

The Polonaise features functional wood threaded wheel angle adjustments so the proper angle can be obtained with the flyer.  Many wheels appear to have this feature but it often does not work and is only decorative. The Polonaise is fully functional.
“Pin and socket” bearings support the wheel, offering low friction and exceptional ease of treadling.  All of the wheel hardware sits between the wheel posts and the footman passes through the bench to the treadle.

The Polonaise is made with European alder and birch and comes standard with double drive and scotch tensioning.

• Wheel diameter - 24"
• Orifice height - 25"       size - 3/8"
• Bobbin size 4oz.         3 included
• also includes threading hook, tensioned Kate 
• Ratios: 8, 12, 16 and 20 to 1;       2 whorls included
• Bearings on bobbins and treadle; leather bearings on flyer
• Weight - 7.25kg (16lbs)

Symphony

The Symphony is just the image you would expect a spinning wheel to take.

This wheel has the detail spinners have come to expect from Kromski products - lots of finely turned wood, attention to detail and all the features spinners have asked for. Start with a good size wheel diameter, 60 cm (24") which rotates on bearing sleeves, giving effortless treadling. The double treadles are well engineered to be comfortable through long spinning sessions. The flyer is double drive but also has Scotch tensioning for single drive users

The double treadle system gives greater comfort when spinning for a long time, also provides more control over the wheel. If so desired the wheel will still operate using one treadle.

Jumbo flyer unit now available

The Symphony is made of European alder and birch.

• Wheel diameter - 60cm (24")
• Height to orifice - 27"
• Orifice diameter - 3/8"
• Ratios - 7.5 / 10 / 16 / 20-1. Two whorls included
• Weight - 15lbs
• Three bobbins, arch Lazy Kate
