HELLO! WE ARE KROMSKI, AND THIS IS OUR STORY
Dear Fiber Artist, we are glad to meet you. We are the Kromski family and we want to share with you our story. Our family has been making wood products for generations. It all began in 1918 in Poland with Leon Kromski and his wood turning business. He produced traditional spinning wheels, in the style that people used in those days. It nearly ended there, when the struggles of war and communism forced the business to close.

Leon and Daniel Kromski,
1972, Wolsztyn, Poland

Thankfully the 1960's brought a new life to the family business when Leon's son, also named Leon, crafted the first Kromski Spinning Wheels. The business thrived and was passed down to his sons, Wojciech and Daniel who created the wheels and rigid heddle looms we know and love today. Now their daughters and sons have joined in the progression bringing new ideas and color to the Kromski line!

WHEN TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY
Still honoring the quality and traditions of the past, Kromski & Sons produces some of the most beautiful spinning wheels available today. Known for the graceful wood turnings on both wheel and loom, the Kromski's not only take pride in the workmanship of each product, but also the function and usability of all. Choose from a number of traditional style wheels or for the more modern aesthetic, look to the Fantasia, now available in Black, or wood finishes, including the Earth friendly Eco Fantasia that uses wood that may otherwise be discarded due to discoloration and unusual wood tones that occur naturally. Each Eco Fantasia is uniquely beautiful while still helping the environment by conserving trees.
In 2023 Kromski introduced color! The wide array of colored Bobbins, Drop Spindles, and Niddy Noddies have a permanent home in the Kromski line.
In addition we now offer a Limited Edition Color of the Year Fantasia and Presto Loom. Soothing modern lines and cheery colors bring a new outlook to 2024 as we introduce the Coral Fantasia and the Pink Light Presto Loom to spinners and weavers worldwide. These limited edition colors will only be available this year with only 100 Fantasias being produced, each one signed by the designer, Daniel Kromski.

Some have worked beautifully and some not so much. Here, in my opinion, is where they stand from least to most useful Binder Clip Clipped to Something Heavy-ish For this first method, I tied the floating selvedges around the handle of a large binder clip and then clipped it to something with a bit of heft, I'm not sure exactly what. It didn't matter, of course, because this worked terribly. This method came from me not being able to find ...
