The Interlude Spinning Wheel | Mid-Size Saxony Single-Treadle

Step into your fiber fairytale with The Kromski Interlude Spinning Wheel. Crafted from sustainably-sourced European Alder, this mid-sized Saxony wheel features a generous 21.5-inch drive wheel that delivers exceptionally smooth rotational inertia and effortless treadling. Equipped with a built-in 3-bobbin Lazy Kate and a highly responsive single-treadle, Scotch tension system, the Interlude is an heirloom-quality masterwork engineered to spin everything from whisper-thin lace threads to art-yarn textures without overwhelming your floor space.

The Grand Saxony Style, Right-Sized

For centuries, the horizontal “Saxony” wheel profile has been the iconic symbol of textile craftsmanship. However, full-sized traditional wheels can easily dominate a room. The Kromski Interlude solves this architectural dilemma. With its 21.5-inch wheel diameter, it retains the long, elegant stance and beautiful Old-World woodworking turnings Kromski is famous for, yet it tips the scales at a portable 11 pounds. It is light enough to pack up for guild meetings, historical reenactments, or local fiber festivals.

Engineered for Rhythmic Momentum

The real magic of the Interlude lies in its physics. The large wheel acts as a natural flywheel; once you set it in motion with the single treadle, its brass hub sleeve bearings and balanced weight distribution maintain a steady, hypnotic rotation with very little physical effort. Fitted with genuine leather maiden bearings, the flyer spins with a quiet, organic hum that plastic-heavy modern wheels simply cannot replicate.

Versatility to Grow With Your Craft

Whether you are spinning fine merino lace or drafting rustic, textured art yarns, the Interlude adjusts to your rhythm. Operating on a Single Drive with Scotch Tension, micro-adjusting the yarn take-up is as simple as dialing a knob to regulate the bobbin brake. Upgraded significantly from its smaller siblings, it features an expanded on-board Lazy Kate built directly into the bench, keeping three full bobbins safely stored and perfectly tensioned for high-speed plying sessions
