This is the
LENDRUM SAXONY
Double Treadle Spinning Wheel
1. Choose the wood you want your wheel made of:
2. Choose having the Flyer on the Left or the Right:
3. Choose the Drive system you want (pick ONE):
It's been many years since we were last able to offer this wheel but it is again being made - possibly for just a limited time. If you have the desire to own one, this is your opportunity to have one made to you specification from the choices that follow.
- Choose your wood: CHERRY, MAPLE, or WALNUT?
- Choose SINGLE DRIVE (Scotch Tension), DOUBLE DRIVE, or Double Drive with a tension knob to change to Single Drive?
- Choose flyer on the LEFT or on the RIGHT?
Left or Right??? How do I know what I want??? Well, if you spin with you left hand forward and your right hand holding the un-spun fiber, YOU are probably going to be more comfortable with the flyer on the left. And conversely, if you spin with you right hand forward and your left hand holding the
un-spun fiber, YOU are probably going to be more comfortable with the
flyer on the right. Here's a scenario: My wife and I are both right-handed, but my wife is most comfortable spinning with her left hand forward and a wheel with the flyer on the left. I spin with my right hand forward and I prefer a wheel with the flyer on the right. It's important to make the correct choice as you can't change it around.
The LENDRUM SAXONY is a beautiful wheel that performs superbly.
- The Drive wheel is 28 inches in diameter
- This spinning wheel kit comes partially assembled.
- The wheel, bobbins and kate all come unfinished.
- Ratios: 8:1, 12:1, 15:1 and 18:1
- Supplied with four larger capacity bobbins, two whorls, and a Tensioned Lazy Kate.
- A matching wood orifice (threading) hook is included
- You can finish it yourself or take it to a woodworker or shop and have them put a finish on it. A suggestion: a Danish Oil finish is probably the easiest to do to protect the wood (and it looks superb!) but you may have to re-do it every few years.
- We will have your wheel drop shipped directly from Lendrum to you.
