The most well known design feature of the Kromski Fantasia spinning wheel is assumed to be the weighted wheel's graceful curved lines. In fact, the feature experienced and beginner spinners alike appreciate most is the discreet arrangement of the flyer that produces the Fantasia's popularity. This configuration of the flyer allows the user to jump speedily from bobbin to bobbin without having to remove the drive band. 

Constructed into three separate components, the flyer, bobbin, and whorl, allows exchanges between the parts to flow effortlessly. The Fantasia's sliding flyer hooks permits the user to tweak the yarn as the bobbin fills. Three interchangeable whorls that allow for multiple spinning speeds/ratios are also included in the package.
