Book Charkha Traditional Spinning Wheel - Crafted in India

Description

Book Charkha (Traditional)
This is a new charkha (hand spinning wheel) from the latest batch crafted in India. It is a traditional model of the *MAHATMA* Book Charkha. This charkha is crafted by the skilled artisans so as to maintain it's 'Traditional' nature. This beautiful spinning wheel is best suited for cotton spinning & the hand spinners love it's smooth and fast spinning. The compact Charkha is in a shape of the Book and is very compact and lightweight. Because of it's lightweight it can easily be carried wherever you go.
The 'Traditional Charkhas' are crafted by the passionate & skilled artisans who have been crafting these charkhas from generations. So as to maintain its nature and tradition, they are still crafted in the same traditional ways. The material use and the methods are the same. The Charkha box frame is made from Teak Wood & Plywood is fitted to close the the frame. The outer sides of the completed box are then polished using French Varnish finish. The inner sides may not be polished or may have only light touch of the polish. So in some charkhas you may find the Plywood company logo visible on the inside. (This does not hamper the charkha operation in any way! ) The Charkha formats, material used & the methods used are the same as have been followed by the earlier generations.  You need to 'tune' the Charkha first time to start spinning on them. Also they need some oiling at the friction points. But these efforts are paid in full once you start spinning on them! Hand spinning on Charkhas is addictive! It gives you peace of mind and joy of creativity!!
There are no instructions included with the Charkha. If you are new to charkhas or wish to know the correct way of setting up/ spinning on them, there are several videos on YouTube that show and explain the charkha set-up & spinning operation. We have created two videos showing Book Charkha Setup for Spinning & Use of Winder of this charkha. You can check these videos in our YouTube channel 'IndieCrafts'. Also, you can subscribe to this channel as we are working out on many related videos that will be uploaded shortly.
For those who are new to spinning, with some practice & guidance from the experienced spinner you can master the spinning on them. These are the best charkhas to spin short stapled fibers like cotton. This makes the traditional charkhas unique items that can be cherished! They are perfect & precious gift for the self or your loved ones!!!
