SpinOlution’s Pollywog spinning wheel is their most affordable (as well as adorable!) option and a great option for new spinners to learn and grow with. That being said, the Pollywog is still versatile enough to be used by experienced spinners looking for a lightweight (less than 9lb), travel buddy. The Pollywog is treadled with toe-centric rockers for a gentle, quiet spin. This wheel can spin from fine silk to chunky art yarns. If you plan to spin extra-fine, the accelerator and closed-tube orifice bar add-ons are recommended.

The Pollywog comes standard with 3, 4-oz bobbins with an optional 12oz flyer/bobbin available for those looking for a larger bobbin capacity, especially for art yarns! Also included is a built-in lazy kate that holds 3, 4oz bobbins.

Due to the smaller footprint of the Pollywog, taller spinners may want to consider also adding an orifice riser that will add 3 inches to the height of the orifice. Not sure if you need the riser or accelerator? Don’t worry, order the basic setup and see how it works for you first; add-ons can always be ordered at a later time.

Get the most out of your Pollywog.
Need a taller orifice? Add the Pollywog orifice riser to add 3 inches of orifice height. Install this riser above the wheel and below the head. It is designed to be used on either the 4 oz flyer or 12 oz flyer. It is not recommended to be used with the accelerator.

*Need faster speeds for fine spinning? Add the Pollywog accelerator to your wheel for multiple faster ratios for ultrafine and thread spinning.

*Need more bobbin capacity? Upgrade to a Pollywog 12 oz flyer head which can hold more yardage and chunky, bulky, art yarns.

*Need a closed orifice? Add a tube orifice to your 4 oz or 12 oz flyer head if you prefer spinning with a closed orifice.

Special notes: SpinOlution wheels are made from high-quality Baltic birch plywood. Please note that occasional knots or patches may appear in the wood—these are natural characteristics from the wood manufacturer and are not within SpinOlution’s control. While we do our best to select the finest materials, these cosmetic variations are a normal part of working with real wood and do not affect the performance or durability of the wheel.
