I've had one of these guys for a really long time and overall It's been a good wheel to learn on but it has this one particular problem that I find to be incredibly frustrating: the wheel is not securely aligned, so the drive band pops off every few minutes or so while I'm spinning and I have to stop to put it back on. I hate this spinning wheel so much.
Paradise Fibers had competitive pricing, very fast shipping, and great customer service. I was so pleased when my wheel arrived that my husband got me a rigid heddle loom as well so I can immerse myself in every fiber art possible. I will be using Paradise Fibers for years, they have truly great products. I have never used a spinning wheel before in my life, and I was very proud when I assembled my Kromski Prelude. I read reviews about it being a great starter wheel, and I am working on treadling in one direction these days. I look forward to getting to know it after the holidays, but it is an equisite, relatively small addition to my hobby room.
I have spun on my drop spindle, but this was my first spinning wheel. The assembly book was pretty good and had photos, I do wish they had updated videos on YouTube as the ones they have are ten years old, but I still watched those and they were so helpful. I got mine built and have enjoyed learning on it, It’s been great to learn on! It’s gorgeous, sturdy, and seems well constructed. My only thing is the twine brake band already broke, but I guess that’s not a big deal. I just replaced with some cotton yarn. Overall I’m a Kromski fan and can’t wait for another wheel!
I already own a Kromski Polonaise and am extremely pleased with the quality and design of this company’s wheels. I needed a smaller wheel I could travel with easily,so recently purchased the Prelude. The assembly was quick and easy. Once I got used to the single drive, I’ve enjoyed the wheel very much. It is a sturdy little machine that so far has performed excellently with both wool and angora. I’m looking forward to many years of spinning both at home and while traveling with the Prelude

The Prelude Spinning Wheel is Kromski's smallest single-drive Saxony wheel, with an 18" diameter for compact portability in the outstanding craftmanship of the antique Saxony style. Easy assembly and a multitude of attributes make this perfect for both beginners and lifetime use. This multi-speed/ratio wheel features Scotch Tension and is available in unfinished, finished clear, walnut, and mahogany. Your wheel includes a Built-In Lazy Kate (two bobbin capacity), 3 bobbins, Spinning Wheel Oil, Wrench, and a Threading Hook.
Jumbo Flyer kits are available to upgrade your Prelude. These expand the spinners range in two ways. First, the type of yarn created can vary from lace-weight to super bulky art yarn because of the larger orifice on the jumbo flyer. Subsequently, the jumbo bobbin allows spinners twice the capacity of the regular Kromski bobbin. A regular Kromski bobbin already offers 50% greater space than most standard bobbins in the industry with a generous 4.2 ounce capacity. Jumbo bobbins double that, essentially allowing you to spin two regular bobbins worth without a bobbin change! This means longer, continual drafts for skeins with greater yardage.
