The Sonata Encore spinning wheel, from the Kromskis of Poland, is a marriage between the classic architecture and design concepts shared with all other Kromski wheels, and the functional needs of a wheel that folds. You get both!

It is a full-size spinning wheel that folds and packs away as a small package, making it perfect for traveling, guild and festival gatherings, or simply storage when not in use. A custom-made, heavily padded bag offers you a convenient way to pack-up your Sonata for travel or storage.

The Kromskis have put a lot of thought into the Sonata. Full-size yet with small dimensions when folded, easy to set-up and take down, solid feel, solid footprint, plenty of foot room, easy treadling on double treadles, orifice at a comfortable height, and classic looks. Spokes that draw your attention – every piece of wood with cuts, curves and character; this is an appealing spinning wheel that is a pleasure to use.
