SPINNING: Lendrum Folding Spinning Wheels
As of January 2010, we do have wheels in stock.
A portable wheel that works extremely well and has a variety of options
that make it very versatile. Comes single- or double-treadle. Folds compactly
for storage or travel, and weighs only 14 pounds. Little maintenance is
required; the wood and finish are very hard. The thread guides are sliding,
a threader and 4 bobbins ship with, the lazy kate (included) is tensioned.
Scotch tension allows wheel/flyer speeds to range smoothly from 5:1 to
44:1.

There are five
flyer/heads available:
The regular flyer ships with all wheels. Orifice diameter
is 7/16 inch, ratios are 6, 8 and 10, and the capacity of the bobbin
is 20 cubic inches.
The fast flyer is used for fine yarns that need more twist.
It uses the same bobbins and mother as the regular one. Ratios are
12, 15 and 17 (orifice and bobbin capacity are the same as for regular).
The very fast flyer is capable of working at up to 2000 twists
per minute, for spinning fine, high twist yarns and short staple
fibers. Orifice diameter is 1/8 inch, ratios are 26, 30, 36 and
44.
The plying head lets you ply two bobbins onto a larger one.
Orifice is 7/8 inches, ratios 5, 7 and 9; bobbin capacity 20 cubic
inches.
The quill head lets you learn to work with a quill without
a great wheel. Ratios are 6, 25 and 37; quill length is 6 inches. |
