Your versatile spinning companion with one wide treadle. Spin thick, thin or art yarn effortlessly. Buddy has 5 ratios (1:4 to 1:18) and an orifice of 18 or 12 mm. The 12 mm orifice insert (included) ensures that your thread does not wobble. This spinning wheel has a double treadle. Operate it with both feet or with one foot. Along with the Buddy spinning wheel, you'll also receive four bobbins and a stand-alone lazy kate that can hold three bobbins, with a bobbin capacity of about 200 grams, perfect for large projects. The Buddy spinning wheel is made of solid beech and laminated beech and it's easy to assemble yourself. Do you spin thick, thin or art yarn?Buddy can do it all. The spinning wheel has Dutch tension - Irish tension improved by Jan Louët. The spinning wheel is bobbin-led, but the aerodynamic design of the flyer allows you to spin with very little pull on the yarn. As a result, Dutch tension is great for spinning both thin and thick yarns. Another clever feature: sliding guides with an opening through which you effortlessly insert the yarn. Buddy is a spinning companion for your next creative endeavours. ratios 1:4, 1:6, 1:9, 1:13, 1:18 capacity bobbins approx. 200 grams orifice Ø18 mm (can be reduced to Ø12 mm with supplied insert) orifice height 65 cm wheel diameter 41 cm material solid beech and laminated beech finishing natural, determine your own finish weight 5.5 kg
