kiwi 2 Great value - affordable - easy learning ratios
- perfect starter wheel - double treadle This is an excellent beginner wheel
due to its easy learning ratios, double treadle and affordable price. The
double treadle and ball bearings allow for easy treadling and “hands-free”
start. Treadles are mounted on polyurethane hinges for a smooth, quiet and
comfortable heel-toe action. The stretchy drive cord does not require any
adjustment as you change from one ratio to another and always maintains
the correct tension. The scotch tension allows easy control of the drafting
process. The central flyer is convenient for right and left-handed spinners.

the robust construction makes this an ideal wheel for individuals, schools
and clubs. The wheel itself is made of MDF, a high-density durable wood
product that can be painted or decorated. specifications Wheel diameter
