Joy Wheel

sliding hook flyer
The Joy now comes with a sliding hook flyer as standard plus new larger sized bobbins. These hold 30% more than the old style bobbins. Fill the bobbins easily with the squeeze & slide stainless steel hooks. Graphite fibreglass arms make these new flyers strong and light. Another new modification to the treadles places them in a 'ready-to-go' position to start treadling with your right foot.

Love to travel?  The Joy is ultra-compact and lightweight. Pop it in a carry bag and take it wherever you go!  Available as either a single or double treadle, the Joy offers smooth, easy spinning. It's unique design allows it to fold flat with the bobbins stored in the frame. Four flyer ratios give you the freedom to create chunky through to lace-weight yarns. Made from strong furniture grade plywood finished with clear lacquer, the Joy is ready-to-go.
