if you love to spin, you need a good spinning wheel. Of course, you’ll also probably want a good deal on your wheel. That’s where Pacific Wool and Fiber comes into play. They’re having a special deal on spinning wheels right now. It’s not a sale, per se, but a case of adding in some free goodies to sweeten the deal.

For instance, I find myself intrigued by this Kromski Sonata folding spinning wheel. It’s the perfect tool for the spinner who does public demonstrations or wants to take her work along to crafting circles.

Weighing in at just 11.5 pounds, it folds down to just 22″ x 19″ for easy transport. It comes with three bobbins, a built in lazy Kate, threading hook, and carrying bag. Even the shipping is free.

Depending on the finish, the wheel will run you $520.00 to $540.00. But wait! There’s more! You can choose your free gift of two extra bobbins, a niddy noddy and an extra bobbin, an instructional DVD on learning to spin, or 24 oz. Corriedale top.

Of course, just because it’s a good deal doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. If you think you might prefer a drop spindle, or if you can’t afford a wheel, drop on by the Joy of Handspinning to learn how to make your own drop spindle for next to nothing.
