The Mach II is extremely versatile and can spin anything from cobweb lace to bobble-filled art yarns. The bobbins are big and will hold a good amount of yarn (if you want to hold POUNDS of fiber on one bobbin, we now have a special art yarn flyer - contact me for information).
Bobbin changes are effortless with the Mach II - the orifice bar is attached megnetically, so you just whisk it right off, slip the old bobbin off the spindle and the new bobbin on, the bar clicks right back on and you are back to spinning!
This wheel is extremely sturdy and won't require a lot of upkeep or special care.
There is a wheel & strap accessory kit for this wheel, if you want to be able to roll it around easily - contact me for information if interested, we can include it with the shipment on the wheel and save you shipping costs.

The Mach II is a new model, with many improvements over the Mach I. The improvements include:
1. Higher speed flyer with a 1:21 ratio now standard(and it really moves). This flyer assembly can be purchased and changed out with the Mach 1’s. Inquire if you want to purchase the upgraded model.
2. Orifice bar.
3. Balanced flyer. We had some issues with the novelty being out of balance. The new flyers are balanced and run very smooth, with either peg set.
4. Change in the treadle, allows smoother and easier pulling to change the plate, and sturdier base.
5. New logo on the front and back of the wheel.
6. The Retail price has changed to $649.00.
The Mach II has many improvements over current Spinning wheels available on the market. Some of the standard upgrades include:

* 5 Speed Spindle – work at your speed.
* 2 Toe Brakes – to stop the wheel easily.
* Multiple Bearings – for smooth and efficient operation.
* Heel rests – keeps the wheel in front of you, not across the room.
* Multiple rubber feet – for ultimate stability.
* Heavy duty construction – for years of dependable use.
* American made – what else can we say.
