Indian Book Charkha Spinning Wheel

This is truly a special wheel, not only for the way it looks, its compact size and the fact it is from India, but because it has a history that helped force change in India during the rule of the British Crown.
The Indian Charkha is made of teak, finished and ready to use. It includes 3 spindles, a skeinwinder and instructions. It is designed for spinning fine fibers such as cotton, silk, angora, cashmere, etc. into fine yarns. Ratio - 100:1

Note: This product is made in India and imported. As such, it is a true "charkha" and each wheel will have slight cosmetic differences but also you will find that these wheels do not have the fine finish of western wheels you are accustom to seeing. This "rough" finish is not a defect, just the nature of the product as made and used in India.
