Kiwi 2 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 hinged
to allow a 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 wheel is easy and quick to assemble
with the Allen key supplied and 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. Wheel
