MONARCH
Experience the artistry of production level studio spinning with the SpinOlution Monarch spinning wheel, designed for both beginners and experienced spinners alike. The Monarch is engineered to enhance your spinning experience with peak ergonomic performance, featuring a large bobbin capacity and adjustable ratios that provide versatility for a range of fibers and projects. The Monarch is our production studio wheel for professional and production spinners who need a comfortable, solid wheel they can spin at for hours without pain or fatigue.
The Monarch has unique features, like breaks for stopping, and 5 different flyer head sizes to choose from. There is no other double treadle wheel as versatile on the market as the Monarch. The wheel’s sturdy construction from Baltic birch ensures a lifetime of use, whether you’re heading to a fiber festival or parking it in your home studio.
Adjust the tension effortlessly to suit your spinning preferences, and enjoy the comfort of the ergonomic design that supports longer sessions without fatigue. Park the Monarch in your studio for production spinning at home, and put the same flyer on your Firefly to keep spinning the same yarn at a sheep and wool festival. With the Firefly, your production spinning studio can go everywhere you can! The Monarch comes with a variety of customizable flyer size options, allowing you to select the size and ratio range that fits your needs.
Veteran-owned and made in the Pacific Northwest, the SpinOlution Monarch Production spinning wheel stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship. This is not just a tool; it’s an investment in your passion for fiber arts. Join the community of satisfied spinners who have discovered the joy of creating with the Monarch. Elevate your spinning today!
The Monarch is our heaviest wheel, weighing 25 pounds so bringing it to vending events and classes can be a drag without the Monarch Travel Kit accessory. Tie the strap around the handle for extra length (if necessary for your height) and attach the wheels to the base with the included screws (4 per wheel). There are pre-drilled holes in the Monarch base for this accessory.
Please note: The product can differ slightly from shown photos, since we improve our products continuously.

MONARCH TREADLE CHALLENGES
When evolving the monarch treadle from the oval hub to the “knock-less” design in 2020 we and some of our customers faced a legitimately frustrating challenge. One of the risks of improving a product is discovering an unexpected fault in the design. We are committed to upgrading every 2020-2023 Monarch treadle for free whenever it becomes necessary.
2020-2023 MONARCH TREADLES WILL BE REPAIRED FOR FREE IF YOU NOTICE THE FOLLOWING:
The magnets in the treadle not holding the peg in place (broken glue seal) - we no longer use a glue or magnet design in the treadle.
The screw in the treadle walking out after being securely tightened (we now use a set screw to secure the middle screw)
The black logo knob not staying attached to the back of the treadle (we now screw it in the center with a set screw in the side).
