Lendrum Spinning Wheels

Unfortunately Gord Lendrum is no longer making spinning wheels.  We do offer replacement drive bands for Lendrum Spinning Wheels.  We also offer custom conversions from a single treadle Lendrum to Double Treadle.  If you're in the market for a new wheel make sure to checkout our own Paradise Fibers Revolution Production Spinning Wheel. 

Lendrum Spinning Wheels: A Beloved Name in Handspinning

If you own a Lendrum, you already know why spinners treasure them. For decades, Lendrum spinning wheels earned a devoted following for their smooth treadling, light portability, and dependable, no-fuss design. We've been living and breathing fiber arts since 1997, and we've helped countless spinners keep their Lendrums running beautifully over the years. There's an important update to share, though: Gord Lendrum is no longer making spinning wheels, so new Lendrum spinning wheels are no longer in production. The good news is that these wheels were built to last, and we're still here to support the many Lendrum owners out there with the parts and services that keep them spinning.

We're family owned and operated, and we genuinely care about keeping good wheels in good working order, whether you bought yours from us or not.

Lendrum Spinning Wheel Parts and Conversions

Because Lendrum wheels are still spinning in homes and studios everywhere, we continue to support them with the essentials. Here's how we can help keep your wheel going strong:

  • Replacement drive bands for Lendrum spinning wheels, the single most common part a well-loved wheel needs over time.
  • Custom single-to-double treadle conversions, so if you have a single treadle Lendrum and want the comfort of a Lendrum double treadle spinning wheel, we can convert it for you.
  • Expert guidance from our in-house repair shop, where we know these wheels well and can help with questions about upkeep and Lendrum spinning wheel parts.

We're family owned and operated, not bought up by a private equity firm like so many of our competitors have been lately, and we back the service we offer personally. If you need a drive band or want to talk through a conversion, reach out and our team will take good care of you. You'll also find general bobbins, whorls, and components in our spinning wheel parts and accessories collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately no, since Gord Lendrum has retired from making spinning wheels, new Lendrum wheels are no longer in production. Existing wheels do occasionally come up secondhand within the spinning community, but they're increasingly hard to find as owners tend to hold onto them. If you had your heart set on a Lendrum, we're happy to suggest comparable wheels that offer similar portability and smooth spinning, including our own Paradise Fibers Revolution wheel.

We continue to offer replacement drive bands for Lendrum spinning wheels, which is the part owners most commonly need since drive bands naturally stretch and wear over time. For other components or questions about maintenance, our in-house repair shop can help you identify what you need and advise on keeping your wheel in top shape. Just reach out to our team with your wheel's details and we'll do our best to support you.

Yes, we offer custom conversions from a single treadle Lendrum to a double treadle setup, which many spinners prefer for the more balanced, comfortable treadling it provides during long sessions. It's a great way to update a wheel you already love rather than replacing it entirely. Contact us to discuss your specific wheel and what the conversion involves, and we'll walk you through the process.

Lendrum wheels were prized for being lightweight, portable, and smooth to treadle, so if those qualities matter most to you, look for a folding or compact wheel with an easy action. Options like the Ashford Joy, the Schacht Sidekick, and portable Majacraft models share that travel-friendly spirit, and our own Paradise Fibers Revolution is built with quality spinning in mind. Because the best match depends on how and where you spin, tell us what you loved about your Lendrum and we'll recommend the closest fit.

For many spinners, yes, since Lendrums were exceptionally well-built and a good used one can spin beautifully for many more years, especially with a fresh drive band and basic upkeep. The main considerations are checking the wheel's overall condition, making sure all the essential parts and whorls are included, and confirming you can still get any pieces it may need, which we can help with. If you find a used Lendrum and want a second opinion, feel free to reach out before you buy.
