My desire for everyone during the New Year To have peace with in ones self To give a lot and take a little To wrap your arms around the innocent of a little...
Thanks everyone for your thoughts, suggestions and opinions - it really helps. Has anyone put their wheel together themselves? How hard is it? Or should I...
Hello, Iam so happy to have found this group and I'd like to introduce myself. I have been spinning for about a year and a half. I learned at the John C....
Ok, so I've heard that the Polonaise is too fidgety and hard to get into and keep into adjustment. True or? I've also heard that the Symphony is quite the...
Thanks to everyone who gave me imput on which wheel to choose. My search is finally over! I went up to the Elegant Ewe in Concord, NH today and took my first...
Good for you! Do practice and don't give up. I have Babs my Polonaise and she can do just about anything I could imagine. I would like to try a Sonata...
So it sounds like the prelude may not be right for me. (Too small I think.) What about the symphony and polonaise? Can I get feedback to the same questions?...
I've thought I wanted a Sonata but wanted to actually see one before I committed myself. Went to the Mass Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend and now I KNOW...
I own both the Sonata with the Jumbo flyer and the Fast flyer and also the Minstrel with the extra whorls you can buy for it. Portability for spin ins I pick...
Babs does not complain, drag, fidget or fight. She gets regular oil treatments where she should and is quite happy. As long as I obey the method of...
I'm so torn over which wheel to buy. I'm not able to keep several like some of you lucky ladies so I have to choose carefully. I love love love the look of a...
I have a Polonaise with a walnut finish. I also would have like it to have double treadles. I find that as I treadle with one my right foot it tends to...
I am really wanting a Polonaise or possibly a Minstrel. I current have a walnut Ashford Traditional with tons of bobbins and a lazy kate etc. Where is a good...
Wow, did *I* ever get a wakeup call today! I need help! I tried plying on the Minstrel the other day and had some trouble but it smoothed out pretty well and...
Do any of you celebrate Roc Day? Our Weavers Guild has a pot luck and spin-in on January 1 every year. This is my first year as a spinner, so I'm excited about...
Beig Kromskiless is hard. My longest bout was, of course, having to wait for it to come via UPS. Now when I am at work, I think about what I am going to...
Hi all, I am patiently waiting for my wonderful local store to receive their first ever shipment of Kromski wheels. Have been able to resist the urge to buy...
I think the longest I had to endure was back in September when I went to California for 9 days. I so wanted to take my Sonata with me but knew I shouldn't and...
I use my poly band on my Polonaise with scotch tension and, at least for me, it was an excellent decison. I recommend you use it. No more tension issues at...
I am joining this group to learn more about Kromski spinning wheels. I am considering buying the Sonata and plan to try it out, along with several other...
I still have the original hemp band on mine - just had the wheel 2 months, but I bought the poly band and can not determine how to put it on. Did you have to...
I am sending all of y'all a sight that I have just fallen in love with. This lady does it all - from soaking fleece in her washer to drum carding and a million...
Here is another one that dyes with food coloring by the same lady. I wish I had some locks. This is really good for people who can't be around acid dyes. I...
But if you wash a fleece in your washer isn't your washer going to be icky and very greasy and sticky? I don't have a top load anyway but I am curious....
