Kromski Interlude Spinning Wheel
What it spins, how it carries, and what comes in the box.
The short answer
Kromski Interlude Spinning Wheel is a single-drive, Scotch-tension spinning wheel from Kromski. It has one treadle, ratios from 7 to 15.5:1 and a 10 mm orifice.
Higher ratios lean toward finer yarn, lower toward thicker. Check the orifice against the thickest yarn you plan to spin.
