Description
The Sonata wheel comes in your choice of unfinished, clear lacquer finish, walnut or mahogany finish. The price includes a carrying case, three bobbins, a threading hook, and an oil bottle. The Sonata is unique in that it is a full-size spinning wheel, yet collapses into a very portable wheel that fits into a quality carrying case. This is another of the most popular wheels at the Fiber Garden! The Sonata has a very smooth treadling action that will make spinning a joy. All-in-all, the Sonata is one of the best-priced folding wheel packages.
Please note on ordering! We have many wheels in stock at the Fiber Garden ready for you to pick-up. But you may also order one to be shipped directly to you from the manufacturer at no additional cost. The Fiber Garden pays all shipping charges! When you select a wheel, you will choose “local pick-up” (if we have your choice of wheel in stock) OR “please ship”. If you choose local pick-up, we will contact you to set a time for you to come and get your wheel. (Note that during the pandemic we are not allowing anyone into the mercantile, so local pick-up will be outdoors curbside pick-up only.) If you choose “please ship”, you will receive updates on the timeline for shipping your wheel. Most wheels ship promptly.
