I'm on a mission to make Fiber arts accessible and affordable. That's why I've created this charkha and several other tools for a drastically reduced cost using 3D Printing.
Please check out my other fiber arts tools here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoodandBasic?ref=profile_header
This kit includes nearly all the pieces needed to assemble your own charkha spinning wheel, which you can use to spin your own thread and ply your own yarns from cotton and other fibers. To be very clear, this kit will require assembly and does not arrive fully assembled.

INSTRUCTIONS
Simply glue the Bearing Blocks and Spindle Holder Base to a length of wood or a folding box to complete your charkha spinning wheel. For a build video, visit www.goodandbasicmanufacturing.com/instructions.
