BAYNES Scotch Tension Double Treadle Natural Finished Spinning Wheel Plus Extras

You are looking at one sweet, compact, well designed, smooth running wheel that works perfectly the first time it is used! There is virtually NO break in period. Baynes Spinning wheels are ideal for beginners through experienced spinners. I easily spin a thin single from alpaca roving (and yak fluff!) AND silk on the slowest whorl. A great wheel for an entry level price.

Any wheel we sell comes with friendly advice as needed. We are also including machine oil, a sticky poly band and 4 ounces of practice roving.

Your Baynes wheel is easily transported to guild meetings on the seat of your car secured with a seat belt. The bobbins will not fall off because of a clever special clip holder that firmly holds the bobbins onto the built-in 3 bobbin Lazy Kate rack.

This machine is lovingly completed in a clear finish. It can be assembled in approximately 30 minutes by reading the easy-to-follow, step by step instructions that are included. This Baynes wheel also comes with operating instructions and our advice as needed. If you live anywhere near Ithaca, NY we will assemble it and have it in perfect working order for you to pick up.

from a happy customer---"I put the wheel together last night -- good instructions, by the way -- and started spinning immediately. It works beautifully...Please pass on my congratulations on the wonderful craftsmanship to the Bebbingtons. And let them know that if they ever get tired of creating beautiful wheels, they would have a great future as professional packers."

Smooth graphite bearings, which have been developed especially for Baynes, make for long life and smoother quiet spinning. Most of the wheel is made of solid NZ silver beech in Ashburton, New Zealand by the Bebbington family. The wheel rim is made of NZ beech veneered MDF composite for extra stability and the bobbins are MDF as well. Well oiled MDF bobbin shafts spin as well as metal bearings.

A unique feature of the Baynes wheel is the patented flyer unit from which the bobbins can be removed and replaced in seconds without disturbing the driving cord/band. The rear flyer support has a lever fitted for easier removal of the 5 oz capacity bobbin.

The treadles are placed in the precise position for your feet to work with a smooth “heel and toe” action, therefore reducing strain on your ankles.
