The Kromski Eco Fantasia uses wood that is a bit different from the standard wood. The grain may be darker, the color may be deeper, but to Kromski, it isspecial as it is designed by nature in the forests of Poland. Each Eco Fantasia is as unique and individual as the spinners that use them.A thoroughly modern wheel in every aspect but the concept and design are obviously Kromski. What is not obvious is a new single drive flyer design. The whorl is “changeable” for different speeds; to change the bobbins (all Kromski bobbins fit the Fantasia), the front of the flyer simply pulls off – no drive band to deal with in this adaptation of the original Kromski Quick Change Flyer. Very fast bobbin change.The wooden spinning wheel and the flyer spin on sealed bearings for an exceptionally soft feel.

A Unique & Eco-Conscious Spin on the Classic Kromski Wheel

Discover the Eco Fantasia, a sustainable and artistic variant of the beloved Kromski Fantasia. Celebrating the inherent beauty of nature, each Eco Fantasia showcases wood with its own distinctive grain patterns and hues, creating a spinning wheel that’s as unique as the spinner.

Watch: Assembly and Spinning

Why the Eco Fantasia Stands Out:

• Embrace Natures Artistry: Each Eco Fantasia is a celebration of natures diversity, featuring wood with distinct, darker grain lines and deeper colors. This makes every wheel uniquely beautiful, just like the trees they originated from.
• Eco-Friendly Choice: By utilizing wood that might otherwise be overlooked due to its unconventional appearance, the Eco Fantasia represents a step towards more sustainable practices in crafting, reducing waste and honoring the natural world.
• Artistic Flair: The distinctive look of each wheel adds an artistic touch to your spinning experience, showcasing your individuality and your dedication to ecological mindfulness.

Personalize Your Eco Fantasia:

• Clear Wood Finish: Opt for a polished look with a clear finish that enhances the natural grain and beauty of the wood.
• Unfinished Wood: Choose the raw, natural appeal of unfinished wood, perfect for those who prefer a completely natural look or wish to apply their own stain or finish for a personalized touch.

Features:

• Modern Kromski Design: Retains the elegant, contemporary design of the original Fantasia.
• Revolutionary Flyer System: Allows for quick bobbin changes without the need for tools, streamlining your spinning process.
• Precise Control: The single drive with scotch tension system allows you to adjust the ‘brake’ to slow down the bobbin and have precise control over the take-up of yarn. Let the yarn wind onto the bobbin quickly or grip your fiber tightly to slow the take up and incorporate more twist – you’re in control.
• Instant Bobbin Access: The flyer itself is held on by a super strong rare earth magnet but easily releases with a snug pull, granting instant access to the bobbin. The flyer, bobbin and whorl are three separate components, allowing uncomplicated bobbin and whorl exchanges.
• Seamless Operation: Enjoy smooth, quiet spinning thanks to sealed brass ball bearings (on treadles) and hushed plastic bearings in bobbins.
• Adjustable Sliding Flyer Hooks: Gain precise control over yarn distribution on the bobbin.
• Versatile Whorl Options: Comes with interchangeable whorls for various spinning speeds/ratios, accommodating diverse yarn types.
• Sturdy Build: Features a robust wood frame and base, complemented by a durable MDF wheel.
• Effortless Double Treadle: Designed for comfort, with brass bearings ensuring a fluid spinning experience.
• Built-in Lazy Kate: Convenient 2-bobbin capacity for easy plying.

Specifications:

• Wheel Diameter: 46cm (18 inches)
• Orifice Circumference: 10mm (3/8 in.)
• Whorl Ratios: Standard 5 and 8:1, additional 10 and 14:1, 18 and 20:1
