Pocket Wheels
The Pocket Wheel is just over 18 inches and 6 1/2 pounds and easily disassembles, fitting flat in a shopping bag. Despite its small size, it is an attractive, full-featured wheel with a large bobbin that holds 3-4 ounces of yarn and a unique belt-less drive system, giving continuous ratios from 3.5 through 10 ;standard and to 15 high speed. Individually hand crafted in Bellingham. http://gnoam.com/pocketwheels.html |
