She comes with everything you need to get started and she folds neatly back into her bag so you don't have to leave her behind when you head out the door.
Meet Joy. She is exactly that and more. Available in single or double treadle the choice is yours.
This compact wheel is light weight (5.1kg/11¼lb) and portable with folding treadle, built-in lazy kate and carry handle. Fold and go, it can be carried easily in cars, as carry-on luggage in planes (check with your airline first as this varies from aircraft to aircraft) and takes up little space at home. Spin a variety of yarns using the four ratios. The stretchy drive cord does not require any adjustment as you change from one ratio to another and always maintains the correct tension. The wheel and flyer are mounted on ball bearings for effortless spinning. Smooth and quiet with treadles mounted on polyurethane hinges to allow a comfortable heel-toe action. The wheel comes assembled and lacquered, ready for spinning.
Which ratio should I use? Your Joy has four. Use 6:1 on the largest groove for thick yarns and coarse fibres, then step up through 8:1 and 11:1 to 14:1 on the smallest groove for fine singles. Have a play and you'll soon find your favourite. Spinning on an older Joy 1? It takes Standard Bobbins, unless you've added a Sliding Hook Flyer. Then the same 130g sliding hook flyer bobbins as the Joy 2 will fit.
