You might recall Ben Kingsley in the movie spinning on one of these. It includes 3 spindles, cotton drive band, a skeiner and instructions. Everything folds up into a case that has the contours of a hardback book. Ideal for spinning short staple fibers such as cotton or lamb's fine wool into fine yarns. Also good for silk, angora, dog hair, or any fine fiber.
Polyurethane drive band - continuous, smooth surface.
No need for splicing of cotton drive band, trying to make a smooth connection. The new Reeves Charkha spinning wheel is a hand-cranked spindle wheel. Think of it as scaled down great wheel. The wheel can be set up for either right or left hand operation. Like all other Reeves wheels, except the new beginner's wheel below, the Charkha is made of red oak and is ready for finishing.
