The Echo was designed as an economical option for spinners wanting a functional, lightweight wheel. Simple enough for every new spinner to learn and grow on, and engineered for all spinners to enjoy. Weighing only 14 pounds, you can carry this wheel to vending events and classes with the handle in the back of the head. Priced similarly to the Pollywog (if you include all the accessories) this affordable spinning wheel is the perfect choice for spinners wanting one wheel to meet all their needs.
The standard Lazy Kate attaches to the back of the Echo for convenient plying. The optional Skein Winder fits both the 8 oz and 16 oz setups for efficiently unwinding bobbins into skeins. With the by-passable hook orifice, you can spin any weight of yarn - or include any embellishment - without getting stuck in an orifice. Magnetic bobbins make switching bobbins & production spinning effortless. The stretchy drive band can be moved to different ratios (speeds) in seconds. The treadling action is ergonomic, effortless, smooth and silent.
The Echo 4A has a built-in accelerator for cobweb yarns and short staple fibers. This size is the most popular for spinning fine and short staple length fibers.
Studio Packages include 2 flyer head sizes, 6 total bobbins, lazy kate, skein winder, and both hook and tube orifices.
When using a different bobber size you will need to purchase a different flyer head size. For example, if you purchase the Echo 8 oz and want to use a 16 oz bobbin then you will need to purchase the 16 oz flyer head separately.
Engraving is optional and is a wildflower design.
