Let's say using a drill isn't your thing, and something like our DIY Complete Spinning Wheel Kit looks like a headache and a half. What other options are available for you as a spinner? We pulled together our top picks. Louet Wheels Manufactured in Holland, Louet spinning wheels feature a clean, nouveau design. My favorite wheel based purely on aesthetics is the Louet S10. I love the little circle within a circle that keeps pace with your spinning.
Ashford Wheels Fresh from the land of Lord of the Rings and meat pies, Ashford has their headquarters in New Zealand. I think my favorite from their selection is the travel wheel. The triangle reminds me of rustic a-frame cabins and the ability to take it with me would be a definite plus.
Kromski Wheels I had to include Kromski wheels on this list because they just look so cool. Look at that mint majesty. Apparently it's limited edition, so it's basically a glorious, practical house sculpture. In case you don't make it in time for the sale, they do have the Fantasia wheel in other colors.
Where Can I Get a Wheel? For simplicity, all of the listings from this post came from The Woolery. There are, however, many different places where you can get your hands on a spinning wheel, including Craigslist or thrift stores. Make sure, if you're buying second hand, that you know what you're getting. There was a trend a couple of years ago (by which I mean the 80s), when people had "spinning wheels" in their houses. Yes, they were wheels, but they didn't actually spin. Many of these wheels ended up in thrift stores or estate sales and were never meant to function in the first place. So there you have them: other great options for spinning wheels. This post is by no means comprehensive, and we encourage you to look up local options in your area. You never know what you might find!
