I am very happy to announce that I now carry Kromski spinning wheels!  I have a mahogany Prelude and a finished Fantasia in stock as well as different Lazy Kates and Niddy Noddy's, bobbins in all finishes and some great needle-nosed oil bottles.  I plan to bring in the Harp loom.

Of course, I still carry Ashford wheels and looms and Louet wheels and spindles and accessories from Magpie Woodworks and a local Iowa woodworker.
