Kromski Spinning Accessories

Tensioned Lazy Kates

The Kromskis make two styles of Lazy Kates - the arched version now comes standard with all Mazurka and Symphony wheels; the upright Kate comes standard with the Polonaise.

The Lazy Kates are very attractive and work just the way you want them to. They hold up to three bobbins. The bobbin rods are made of heavy metal.

These tensioned Kates will accommodate most other brands of bobbins including Ashford (standard bobbins), Jensen, Reeves, Timbertops, Majacraft and Lendrum (regular and very fast bobbins).

Available unfinished.and finished.

Niddy Noddies

You can't spin without having a Niddy Noddy. The Kromskis make three sizes for three different size skeins: 30", 48" and 72". The two smaller sizes are available in clear, walnut, and mahogany. The large Niddy is available unfinished, with a clear finish, and with a walnut or mahogany stain finish.

Nostepinne - make a ball of yarn using just this stick. Available unfinished, with a clear finish and with a walnut or mahogany finish.

Spinning Stool

You need to sit just right to spin comfortably. With the Kromski spinning stool, you can. This sturdy stool has a contoured seat that will let you spin for hours. The legs have been turned so that you can make a permanent adjustment to the seat height from 17" to 18.5" if you wish. And if not for spinning, you will find this stool works well in a variety of settings. Available unfinished or finished (clear, walnut or mahogany)

Padded Bag for Sonata

This is the way to treat your Sonata. This heavy duty, heavily padded bag will protect your wheel when it is folded. Whether you are storing it or traveling across country, rest assured that all is well. The folded Sonata fits firmly on extra heavy base pads; the flyer has a padded mitten that slips over it for added protection; all sides have thick, stiff padding. The bag is made of durable materials with heavy zippers and convenient handles and shoulder straps. The kangaroo pouch on the outside holds the extras that you need. Loads and unloads very quickly (as of September, 2007, this bag is included when buying the wheel).

Extra Flyers for Single Drive Kromski Wheels - add speed range to your Sonata and Prelude with our Jumbo Flyer and Faster Flyer.

Be sure to watch our video on Jumbo and Faster Flyers.

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 Kit on the Sonata - includes one jumbo bobbin; ratios of 5, 7.5, and 10 to 1.

Jumbo Kit on the Prelude - includes one jumbo bobbin; ratios of 5.5, 7, and 9:1 to 1.

Instructions for using Jumbo Flyer (Sonata and Prelude) and tensioning elastic drive band.

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.

Faster Flyer on the Prelude - ratios of 11, 14.5 and 16.5 to 1.

Flyers for Jumbo Flyer Kits for the Double Drive Kromski Wheels

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.

MINSTREL NOTE:  if you already own a Minstrel and want to add a Jumbo Kit, you must first 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 knurled nut and bolt going up through the base into the maiden (picture below on right)- you will need to do some simple woodworking to facilitate the jumbo option. Watch our video to see how to do this. Should take about 5 minutes to do.

When ordering your Minstrel Jumbo Kit you will need to inform your dealer of the "style" of your front maiden.  The old styles will look like the 2 pictures on the left below; the new style will look like the picture on the right.
