The drawing is taken with permission from a good little book by Bette Hochberg, " Handspinner's Handbook." This and other books by Hochberg and others can be found on our book page. This is a double drive set-up a Scotch tension wheel would have one drive band loop and perhaps a different type of tension screw. Not all wheels look like this but all have similar parts that do the same thing. This picture will give you an idea of the parts of a typical wheel. A pointed spike is used to both twist and accumulate the spun yarn.Examples will be the Book Charkha, Babe's Little Spider or the quill added to an Ashford or Lendrum wheel. These wheels do not have a flyer or bobbin. The Ashford Traditional and Elizabeth 2 Kromski Symphony, Polonaise, and Prelude and Schacht-Reeves wheels fall into this category. Feature a side-by-side arrangement of the drive wheel and flyer (spinning head). This is the wheel of fairy tales - the wheel on one end, the flyer on the other, sloping frame, and normally three legs. You can also purchase a spindle wheel which uses a spindle to hold the spun yarn, not a bobbin. As new concepts are developed, this classification becomes a little blurred, but basically you have Saxony wheels (horizontal), castle wheels (vertical), Norwegian wheels (horizontal on a bench) and what we call "modern", which can take on many forms, including folding wheels electric wheels. Spinning wheels (those we offer) are typically classified by their general appearance.
