Key features - Thought through down to the last detail:

• Ergonomic double step system
  The double-sided foot pedal mechanism allows for a smooth, rhythmic movement of both legs – this relieves your body, promotes balance and ensures a particularly fluid spinning feel, even during long spinning sessions.

• Proven Dutch Tension System
  The sensitive tension adjustment via the Dutch Tension System gives you complete control when spinning a wide variety of fibers – from delicate to voluminous. Ideal for classic yarns as well as creative art yarns.

• Open flyer for fast work
  No more tedious threading! The yarn can be inserted in just a few simple steps. This saves you considerable time and effort, especially when frequently changing fibers or spinning techniques.

• Fivefold translation for creative freedom
  With the five gear ratios (1:4, 1:6, 1:9, 1:13, 1:18) the spinning wheel adapts to your desired yarn structure: everything is possible, from fine lace yarn to thick effect yarns.

• Generous coil capacity
  The four included spools each hold approximately 200g of yarn and are perfect for larger projects without the need for constant rewinding. You maintain a smooth workflow and can unleash your creativity without interruption.

• Separate Lazy Kate
  The triple bobbin holder is freestanding and allows for comfortable twisting or parallel unwinding of yarn: ideal for structured work processes and clean results.

• Space-saving & mobile
  The spinning wheel folds up without tools and weighs only about 5.5 kg including the bag. This makes you flexible, whether at home, in the garden, on vacation, or at a spinning class.

• Sustainable backpack bag included
  The custom-made transport backpack is made from recycled PET material and reliably protects your spinning wheel - comfortable to carry on your back and environmentally friendly at the same time.

  Crafted from solid beechwood with an elegant veneer, this spinning wheel combines stability, durability, and a warm, natural look. A real eye-catcher – functional and stylish at the same time.
