Like the Traditional spinning wheel but with the double drive belt system. The double drive produces a fine, firm-twist yarn particularly suited for fine wools and exotic fibres.

With ball bearings and its large drive wheel treadling is smooth and effortless and the treadling speed is easily controlled.
