Hi
At work we have a Reeves Saxony wheel and it is quite nice. Has anyone tried the new
Kromski wheels?
They look very nice.
I haven't used a scotch tension since I first learned how spin. I'm pretty
comfortable with the double drives. My Swiss castle wheel has an Irish bobbin lead
and a brake. For those unfamiliar with that configuration there is a single band that
runs in the groove of the bobbin and the brake looks like a scotch tension device but
turning the nob tightens a band over the top of the flyer near the orifice. That has
taken a bit of getting used to.
Cheers
Kestral
