Kromski Sonata Encore Folding Spinning Wheel
The Kromski Sonata Encore is the evolution of Kromski's popular Sonata spinning wheel. It retains everything that made the original a favourite among hand spinners—portability, stability, a full-size 50 cm (19") wheel and smooth treadling—while introducing a new magnetic flyer system designed to make spinning even more versatile and enjoyable.
Designed for spinners who want a travel-friendly wheel without sacrificing performance, the Sonata Encore folds in seconds, fits into its padded backpack (included) and is equally at home in your studio, at workshops, guild meetings or fibre retreats.
With its double treadle, Scotch tension (single drive) and the option to spin in double drive, the Sonata Encore offers remarkable flexibility for creating everything from fine lace yarns to larger, more textured handspun yarns.

A new magnetic flyer designed for greater versatility
The Sonata Encore introduces Kromski's new magnetic flyer system, making everyday spinning even more enjoyable.
Bobbins can be changed quickly, whorls are easy to swap when changing ratios, and the sliding hooks help distribute yarn evenly across the bobbin while making thicker yarns easier to spin.
The result is a spinning wheel that is more versatile, more comfortable to use and ready to grow with you as your spinning skills develop.
A folding wheel that feels like a full-size wheel
Although often described as a travel spinning wheel, the Sonata Encore delivers the feel and performance of a much larger wheel. Its generous 50 cm (19") drive wheel, sturdy alder wood construction and comfortable treadling make it an excellent choice for regular spinning.
When you're finished spinning, the wheel folds quickly into a compact size, making it easy to store or transport without compromising performance.
