Think of a small dog that does not know it is small. That great little guy does anything a large one  can do with energy and verve.  Baynes Spinning Wheels are just like that little dog.  They are sweet, compact, well designed wheels that work perfectly the first time they are used. It's as though they come already trained! Baynes wheels are so versatile. They work well for beginners through experienced spinners.  I easily spin thin singles of yak and angora on the slowest whorl!  Each day I am more impressed with the abilities of this wheel to do as well or better than my Minstrel!

All wheels we sell come with an oil bottle, a sticky poly band and 4 ounces of practice roving. This is a very affordable wheel to own and play with.  Shipping is always free.

"Thanks again for a wonderful transaction and all the patience answering my many emails.  A wonderful shopping experience and great to know there are still people out there who are willing to help out the uninitiated without a second thought."

Baynes Colonial Upright Wheels are all single drive (scotch tension) with your choice of double or single treadle.  Also in your choice of unfinished NZ silver Beech, clear finished NZ silver beech or NZ silver beech with a dark stained finish.  No matter which you choose all wheels come with four bobbins, an integral 3 bobbin locking Lazy Kate, a special wooden handled orifice hook and one of the two-speed flyers.

Your new wheel is easily transported to guild meetings on the seat of your car secured with a seat belt. Bobbins will not fall off while being transported because of a clever clip that firmly holds the bobbins onto the built-in 3 bobbin Lazy Kate rack.  This is so neat!

If you buy a finished wheel then the base, main uprights with maiden bar, main wheel, treadle, flyer uprights, flyer and bobbins are all pre-assembled in the box. You just put it together in approximately 30 minutes by following the clear step-by-step instructions.  If you live within driving distance of Ithaca, NY and have ordered a finished wheel, we will have it assembled and in fine working order for you to pick up at your convenience.

If you choose an unfinished wheel there are explicit directions for sanding and staining and finishing the wood before assembling the parts. "The wood is so gorgeous I left it plain. ...  It spins like a dream.  I'm so happy with it.  It was packed so nicely too. I just sat tonight and treadled without spinning to loosen things up."  PD

One of our customers is very creative with color.  Check out her finished wheel on the customer page.

A unique feature of the Baynes wheels is the patented flyer unit. The bobbins are easily removed and replaced in seconds without disturbing the driving cord/band.  Graphite bearings, which have been developed especially for Baynes, make for long smooth quiet spinning.  Most of the wheel is made of solid NZ silver beech in while the wheel rim is made of NZ beech veneered MDF composite for extra stability and the bobbins are MDF as well. Well oiled MDF bobbin shafts spin as well as metal bearings.

Treadles are placed in the precise position for your feet to work with a smooth “heel and toe” action, therefore reducing strain on your ankles.  My DH uses his double like a single by trading off feet - left foot for awhile then right foot.

You have complete control of the feed speed by adjusting the sensitive scotch tension spring.  The main driving cord tension can be controlled with a threaded knob on the front maiden upright.

Baynes Spinning Wheels are made in a small factory in Ashburton, New Zealand by the Bebbington family. This thoroughly thought out wheel design offers you excellent durability and is backed by more than 25 years experience of manufacturing spinning wheels and a 2 year Guarantee.   Shipping is free.
