Meet the SpinOlution Worker Bee, a folding travel spinning wheel designed for spinners who love creating worsted, chunky, and bulky yarns on the go. Lightweight and portable without sacrificing performance, it’s easy to use for beginners and powerful enough for experienced spinners working with thick, textured yarns. The Worker Bee comes equipped with a 16oz flyer and 3 bobbins.

The Worker Bee offers smooth, quiet treadling and adjustable tension for consistent control across a wide range of fibers. Crafted from durable Baltic birch with no assembly required, it includes a built-in lazy kate that holds two 16-ounce bobbins—making it an ideal choice for travel and large, art-yarn projects alike.

Engraving is now available for the Worker Bee with SpinOlution's beautifully unique honeycomb and wilflower design.
