Paradise Fibers in Spokane, WA has recently come up with the “better mousetrap”, but…in a spinning wheel design. The new wheel called the Revolution is one of the few American made spinning wheels on the market and has new cutting edge features that are changing the way yarn is spun!

“It’s just so smooth to treadle!” Local and online customers have been putting our new Revolution Spinning Wheel to the test with rave reviews from ease of use and smooth action to the exclusive multiple speed oversize jumbo flyer head! “We included the best standard features from our favorite wheel designs and even included a few brand new features never seen before!” The Revolution Spinning Wheel is really in a class of its own from any spinning wheel on the market. The only other wheel that comes close is the legendary Schacht Matchless Spinning Wheel but it’s still lacking a few features the Revolution includes as standard.

“The Revolution Spinning Wheel is like a Swiss Army Knife for spinning yarn.” Spin lace or worsted with the standard flyer or pop in the Jumbo Flyer for super bulky art yarns with jumbo orifice! It has features other wheels have always dreamed of, like adjustable treadle depth, hand balanced precision flyer, multi-speed oversized jumbo flyer and quick treadle disconnects to name a few!

Spinners from beginner to advanced skill level love the Revolution. It’s easy to setup and includes features that are extra on most other spinning wheels. There is also a DVD included for quick setup and tips and tricks for new spinners. “This wheel is very easy to learn on, we use it to teach all of our local spinning classes here at the shop.”

The level of control with the adjustable treadle depth and smooth treadle action is a welcome friend with teachers and students alike. Advanced spinners really seem to connect with the flexibility of this wheel and it is one of the few wheels that can be considered a true production wheel. The Revolution can be used in single drive or double drive configurations with our quick disconnect drive band system for fast switchover. The long stroke on the treadles allows the user to increase the range of the whorls in high speed, standard and jumbo plying modes.

Feedback from our instructors and customers has been instrumental with design and development. Many of the custom features came from requests by instructors and customers. The multiple speeds on the Jumbo Flyer are a great example of this. Everyone hates changing bobbins so we created faster speed whorls for our Jumbo Flyer with the use of something called a jack shaft. This allows for spinning smaller weights as small as sport and light worsted with the Jumbo Flyer!
