Welcome to “The Charka” page at Wyatt Spinning Wheels, where craftsmanship meets tradition. Our Charka spinning wheels are meticulously crafted to provide you with an authentic and seamless spinning experience. Here are some key features and details about our Charka:
Wheel Mechanics:
The wheel, small accelerator wheel, and spindle of our Charka all operate smoothly on precision ball-bearings. This ensures a frictionless and efficient spinning process, allowing you to focus on creating beautiful yarn.
Wheel Diameter:
The Charka boasts a substantial wheel diameter of 10 inches, providing stability and ease of use during your spinning sessions.
Quality Woods:
We take pride in using high-quality woods to create our Charka spinning wheels. Our selection includes Texas mesquite (when available), oak, cherry, black walnut, and pecan. Each wheel is meticulously finished with a hand-rubbed Danish oil, enhancing both its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Accelerator Design:
The Charka is ingeniously designed with an accelerator head, featuring a 22:1 ratio for enhanced speed. If you desire even higher ratios, customization options are available, making it significantly faster than a direct-drive Charka.
