Kromski Sonata
Spinning Wheel
The Sonata, from the Kromskis of Poland, is a marriage between
the classic architecture and design concepts shared with all
other Kromski wheels and the functional needs of a wheel that folds.
You get both.
It is a full-size spinning wheel that folds and packs away as a
small package, making it perfect for traveling, guild and festival
gatherings or simply storage when not in use.
The Kromskis have put a lot of thought into the Sonata. Full size yet
small dimensions when folded, easy to set-up and take down, solid
feel, solid footprint, plenty of foot room, easy treadling on double
treadles, orifice at a comfortable height and classic looks. Spokes that
draw your attention, every piece of wood with cuts, curves and character;
this is an appealing spinning wheel that is a pleasure to use.
Optional flyers can add to the total range of the Sonata. The Jumbo
flyer offers lower ratios and a larger orifice - .70" - and the Faster
flyer increases the ratio range up to 18:1. (final ratios
for these flyers to be announced soon.) A custom-made,
heavily padded bag offers you a convenient way to pack-
up your Sonata for travel or storage. Available in the US
and Canada late October.
