We generally keep a good inventory of Kromski spinning accessories, but due to the many finish options, we may not always have the exact option you need. However, items may drop shipped or we can order what you need. We generally receive orders 2 or 3 business days after placing the order.
Accessories for Kromski Wheels
Bobbins
The Kromski regular bobbins allow you to store a good amount of yarn; about 50% more than many other regular bobbins from other manufacturers. All the Kromski spinning wheel models use the same bobbin size.
Fast Flyer for Single Drive Kromski Wheels (Sonata & Prelude)- Adds speed range
Be sure to watch our video on Jumbo and Faster Flyers.
The Faster Flyer extends the high end ratios of your wheel. These high-end speeds, coupled with the joy of spinning on a Sonata or Prelude, give you the feeling of a production wheel. With your regular flyer, you have all the speed settings you need. Use the regular bobbins with the Faster Flyer.
Faster Flyer on the Sonata – ratios of 12, 16 and 18 to 1. $58.50
Jumbo Flyer Kits for the Double Drive Kromski Wheels-Minstrel, Symphony and Polonaise
Jumbo Flyer – extend
the capabilities of your Kromski Polonaise, Symphony or Minstrel wheel by adding a Jumbo Flyer Kit. You can quickly swap out your regular flyer for the jumbo unit (and back again). Here are the benefits: flyer with very large orifice .70 inch opening for heavy spinning and plying; much larger jumbo bobbin – holds 50 cubic inches of yarn; lower ratio ranges – 2 speeds – to give you excellent speed choices without changing flyer. For the Polonaise and Symphony wheels the ratios are: 5 and 7.2:1; for the Minstrel the ratios are: 4 and 5.3:1
Note: parts shown at right will vary based on your wheel model.
Jumbo Flyer Kit – unfinished (flyer, 1 jumbo bobbin, jumbo whorl, jumbo front maiden) $91
Jumbo Flyer Kit – finished (flyer, 1 jumbo bobbin, jumbo whorl, jumbo front maiden) $106.50
NOTE: if you already own a Minstrel and want to add a Jumbo Kit, you must determine the manner in which your front maiden post has been installed on your wheel. If you do not have the current set-up – brass finger nut going up through the base into the maiden – your will need to do some simple woodworking to facilitate the jumbo option. Take a look at our video that will show you a suggested way to easily adapt your Minstrel.
Be sure to watch our video on flyer ratios – learn and understand.
Inform Yourself – understand the difference between a single drive and a double drive wheel.
The Jumbo Flyer does a lot for you. It adds nearly 2 times the space for yarn over the already great size regular bobbin, so if you are plying or just spinning singles, you can put a lot on a Jumbo bobbin. The orifice on the Jumbo Flyer is .7 inches; spin thick yarn or do heavy plys. And the ratios are great for low or medium speeds. For some, this will be the flyer for general purpose spinning. For extra bobbins, see below.
Jumbo Flyer Kits for the Single Drive Kromski Wheels-Sonata and Prelude
