QUEEN BEE
Introducing the Queen Bee, the original fine yarn folding travel spinning wheel from SpinOlution, designed to revolutionize your yarn spinning experience on the go. Originally named the “Bee” and engineered to fold and fit into carry-on luggage* for spinners on the go who needed a portable wheel designed for spinning fine yarns. Crafted with precision in the Pacific Northwest, this wheel embodies the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality.
The Queen Bee is not just visually stunning, with its elegant design and durable materials, but it’s also engineered for performance. With a built-in lazy kate and three bobbins, the Queen Bee has everything the distinguished fine spinner needs in an all-in-one portable spinning wheel. Featuring a unique upper and lower drive band system, it allows for smooth, effortless spinning at high speeds with minimal effort. This adaptability makes it ideal for beginners and seasoned spinners who want to spin lace to light worsted on the go. The easy-to-use design ensures that setup and adjustments are straightforward, enabling you to focus on your creativity.
Transform your spinning journey with the Queen Bee - where tradition meets innovation, making every spin a delight. With some of the fastest ratios that SpinOlution wheels provide, and lightweight 4 oz bobbins, the Queen Bee is designed specifically for fine spinning and short staple length fibers. Knitters, crocheters, and weavers of fine cloth love this wheel for spinning extra fine yarns to use in their handcrafted textiles. Elevate your creativity and achieve your yarn dreams today.
*Airline requirements for carry-on luggage size requirements continue to vary. Before taking a Queen Bee on your flight, confirm that the carry on bag you are using to transport your Queen Bee meets your airline’s requirements.
