Kromski Fantasia Fast Whorl | Magnetic Lace Yarn Pulley

The Speed You Need for Fine Fibers In 2026, as spinners delve deeper into the world of luxury exotics—like Yak, Cashmere, and Tussah Silk—the Fast Whorl becomes an indispensable ally. These fibers have a short “staple length,” meaning they require a high amount of twist very quickly to hold together. By switching to the 10:1 or 14:1 ratios, you can maintain a relaxed, rhythmic treadling pace while the flyer spins at high velocity, ensuring your fine singles stay strong and consistent. Plying Precision High-speed spinning isn’t just for singles. When plying two fine strands together to create a balanced lace-weight yarn, the Fast Whorl saves you hours at the wheel. The increased rotation speed allows you to move through a full bobbin of plying in a fraction of the time it would take on a standard whorl, all while maintaining the crisp, even twist that defines professional-quality handspun. Instant Magnetic Transition True to the Fantasia’s user-friendly design, this whorl utilizes Ashford’s magnetic-mount system. There are no tools, no screws, and no drive band fumbling. You simply “snap” the whorl onto the flyer shaft. The magnets ensure perfect concentricity, meaning even at the high speed of the 14:1 ratio, your wheel remains whisper-quiet and vibration-free.
