Kromski Polonaise Spinning Wheel Whorls – Ratios from 5:1 to 25:1

Kromski Polonaise spinning wheel whorls allow you to precisely adjust your wheel’s drive ratios to match your spinning style. By changing the whorl, you control the rotation speed and amount of twist inserted into the yarn, directly influencing yarn thickness, structure and consistency.

An essential upgrade for fully unlocking the mechanical versatility of the Polonaise, these whorls give you flexibility to spin bulky fibers, medium yarns or fine high-twist threads with optimal comfort.

Detailed Description

A spinning wheel ratio (for example 5:1, 12:1 or 25:1) indicates how many times the flyer rotates for one complete turn of the drive wheel.

The higher the ratio:

– the faster twist is inserted
– the finer the yarn can be
– the more drafting control is required

Lower ratios (such as 5:1) provide:

– slower twist insertion
– better control for thicker fibers
– moderate yarn twist

Higher ratios (such as 20:1 or 25:1) allow:

– spinning very fine yarns
– strong twist insertion
– increased spinning efficiency for delicate fibers

These whorls are engineered specifically for the Kromski Polonaise spinning wheel and maintain Kromski’s quality and finishing standards.
