Merlin Tree - HitchHiker Spinning Wheels


Merlin Tree-HitchHiker spinning wheels logo.

Great for road trips this wheel fits in front of the passenger seat of most vehicles so you can spin in the car! It is also small enough to take as a carry on when you fly. This is a friction drive wheel so there is no drive band to break or stretch.

We sell all Merlin Tree Spinning Wheels with FREE SHIPPING.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED WITH A MERLIN TREE  SPINNING WHEEL:
  • carded fiber (or raw fleece and handcards)
  • 3 or more bobbins
  • niddy noddy or skeinwinder
  • Lazy Kate, preferably tensioned (if not with wheel)
  • book ("Hands on Spinning") or Video (“Spinning Wool - Basics and Beyond”)
(Nice to have, in ranked order: 1. fine flyer, jumbo flyer, spinning stool or chair, swift and either ballwinder or nostepinne; 2. spinning gauge, extra bobbins, lace flyer.)
