Kromski Fantasia Standard Whorl | Magnetic Pulley Replacement

The Magic of Magnets In 2026, the Ashford Fantasia remains a favorite for its revolutionary magnetic whorl system. Unlike traditional wheels that require fumbling with drive bands and tools, this standard whorl snaps instantly into place. This means you can switch between projects in seconds. Whether you are finishing a fine 2-ply or starting a chunky architectural yarn, the magnetic seat ensures perfect alignment and consistent rotation every time. The “Sweet Spot” of Ratios Every spinner needs a reliable “home base.” The Standard Whorl provides the two most useful ratios for the widest range of fibers: 5:1 Ratio: Ideal for beginners, bulky art yarns, or long-staple fibers like Mohair and Teeswater. 8:1 Ratio: The perfect setting for “everyday” spinning—think soft Merino for sweaters, Corriedale for socks, or Romney for weaving. Craftsmanship That Lasts Made from Natural Silver Beech, this whorl is designed to handle the high-speed friction of a drive band without warping. The deep grooves ensure the band stays seated even during vigorous spinning, while the smooth, unfinished wood allows you to apply your own wax or oil to match the patina of your Fantasia wheel over years of use.
