Kromski Polonaise Slow Whorl | 8:1 & 12:1 Ratios
د.إ88.71
Master the ‘relaxed spin’ with the Kromski Polonaise Whorl Standard Slow. Specifically engineered for the Polonaise’s massive 24-inch drive wheel, this whorl provides the mid-range ratios (8:1 and 12:1) that sit perfectly between high-speed lace and bulky jumbo setups. Crafted from Premium European Alder, it allows for a rhythmic, steady treadling pace—ideal for spinning bouncy DK-weight wools, long-staple alpaca, or consistent, tangle-free plying.
The “Sweet Spot” for Modern Handspinning
In 2026, versatility is the hallmark of a great spinner. The Standard Slow Whorl targets the “Goldilocks” zone of spinning on a large wheel. Because of the Polonaise’s large drive wheel diameter, a 12:1 ratio feels remarkably smooth and powerful. This is the whorl for a mindful afternoon—it allows for a rhythmic pace that produces consistent worsted and DK-weight yarns, the backbone of most knitting and weaving projects.
Frictionless Double-Drive Precision
Because the Polonaise is a sophisticated Double-Drive machine, the whorl must be perfectly balanced to avoid “drive-train chatter.” This “Slow” whorl is hand-turned and factory-tested to ensure it remains rock-steady. The precision-cut V-grooves are designed to grip your hemp or poly drive band, providing the mechanical reliability needed for technical spinning without the stress of high-speed uptake.
Enhanced Control for Long-Draw
If you are practicing woolen-style long-draw spinning, you need a whorl that doesn’t insert twist too aggressively. These ratios give the twist just enough time to travel into the drafted “cloud” of fiber without making the yarn wiry. Crafted from Premium European Wood, this whorl is factory-balanced to ensure that even at a slower pace, your wheel remains whisper-quiet and vibration-free.
