Kromski Polonaise Spinning Wheel

The Kromski Polonaise is a traditional great wheel spinning wheel, inspired by historic European designs and built for spinners who appreciate long draw techniques, precision, and timeless craftsmanship.

Designed primarily for wool and long-staple fibers, the Polonaise excels at long draw spinning, making it an excellent choice for creating lofty, airy yarns. Its large drive wheel provides smooth momentum and effortless treadling, allowing the spinner to focus on rhythm and fiber control.

The wheel is crafted from solid European alder or beech (depending on finish), carefully shaped and finished to highlight the natural beauty of the wood. Its elegant proportions and classic aesthetic make it both a functional spinning tool and a striking studio centerpiece.

The Polonaise is operated by hand rather than treadles, offering a tactile and traditional spinning experience that connects the spinner directly to the yarn-making process. The flyer system is robust and well-balanced, ensuring consistent take-up and reliable performance.

This spinning wheel is well suited to experienced spinners looking to explore traditional techniques, historical spinning methods, or long draw spinning in depth. It is equally appreciated by reenactors, fiber artists, and spinners who value authenticity and craftsmanship.
