The Fantasia

The newest in the Kromski collection. Yes, thoroughly modern in every aspect, but the concept and design are obviously Kromski.

What is not obvious is a new style single drive flyer design. The whorl is “changeable” for different speeds; to change bobbins, the front of the flyer simply pulls off - no drive band to deal with. Very fast bobbin change. Watch a video to see how it is done. The flyer also has sliding hooks. And both the flyer and the wheel spin on sealed ball bearings for a truly smooth feel.

The Fantasia is made of European alder and available in several wood and color combinations.

Take a video test drive.

What does it take to conceptualize and implement a new product?  Look at some of Daniel Kromski's drawings on just small aspects of the Fantasia, a threading hook and a peg. As you will see, a lot goes into a Kromski product before any sawdust is made.
