Kromski Symphony Spinning Wheel Whorls – Ratios 5:1 to 25:1 – Matching Finishes
The Kromski Symphony spinning wheel whorls allow you to precisely adjust your wheel’s rotation speed and twist insertion to match the fiber you are spinning, the yarn thickness you want to produce, and your personal spinning style.
Changing the whorl is a simple and highly effective way to increase the versatility of your Symphony — whether you want controlled, slower spinning for delicate fibers or faster ratios for fine, consistent yarn production.
Shipped from Canada – no customs or import duties for Canadian customers.
Detailed Description
A whorl ratio (for example 8:1, 16:1 or 25:1) represents how many times the flyer rotates for one full rotation 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 allow:
– slower, more controlled spinning
– easier handling of thicker fibers
– moderate twist insertion
With multiple ratio options available, you can adapt your Symphony to:
– spin bulky fibers
– produce fine yarn
– ply (retwist) yarn
– explore a wide range of spinning techniques
Each whorl is precision turned and designed to integrate seamlessly with Kromski’s mechanical and aesthetic standards.
