These new wheels, using the standard bobbins, have increased ratios of 5 7/8 : 1, 7 1/2 : 1, and 19 : 1. The new wheel has a 21 1/4" diameter and is a wheel chair wheel with two bearings for effortless spinning. They are available in either a White frame or the new Black Sheep (black). Weights approximately 7 lbs. Comes with six bobbins; three of 5 7/8:1 and three of 7 1/2:1 (with a O-ring super glued to the back of the drive whorl so that when the drive band is put by the O-ring you get a 19:1 ratio). It is also drilled so you can have the Lazy Kate on the right or left side of the base frame. Comes with four lazy kate rods, so you can do a 4-ply yarn. Each wheel comes with a 1/4 lb. of Brown Sheep wool roving, Black cap oil bottle, Babe's Sure Foot on the four corners of the base frame to keep it from sliding on the floor, and a booklet on spinning.

Babe’s Pinkie Spinning Wheel was born April 22, 2001. It was conceived to be a spinning wheel for children. However, because of it's light weight (only four pounds), folks found that it could have a lot of other uses. It was named Pinkie because it was light enough to be picked up with your little finger. Pinkie is made with ¾" Furniture PVC and uses a wheel chair wheel which has two ball bearings, so it turns very easily. The orifice is twenty inches from the floor. It comes with three bobbins whose ratios are 3 ¼ : 1; a ¼ pound of Brown Sheep roving; and Babe’s Sure Foot to keep it from sliding on the floor. The wood treadle is designed for the smaller foot; however, Nels has found the larger foot will work if you turn the wheel so your foot will be on the diagonal of the treadle.
