- Built-in Lazy Kate (2 bobbin capacity)
- Total wheel weight : 5.5kg (12 lbs)
- Optional distaff available (sold separately)
The Minstrel is unique among the Kromski wheel range in several ways. It is the only wheel that comes with an optional distaff attachment for spinning flax and other long fibres, and the only one which supports the Great Jumbo Flyer for an amazing 5.9 times bobbin capacity and huge orifice for spinning art yarns. With a range of interchangeable whorl sizes available and the ability to operate as double drive or single drive with Scotch tension, the Minstrel is a wheel that can do it all.
