About the Hopper

Introducing the SpinOlution Hopper Travel Wheel, the ultimate choice for spinners who need portability and convenience. Weighing just 13 pounds, it folds down into a compact size, making it super easy to pack in your travel bag or take on your next adventure. Whether you’re spinning lace or bulky yarn, the Hopper delivers a smooth and enjoyable spinning experience wherever you go.

The Hopper is a unique wheel that some spinners absolutely love, while others don’t connect with it as much. We recommend giving it a test spin before buying to see if it’s the right fit for you.

When using the Hopper, chair height and leg position are key. A low chair with good lumbar support is ideal, and you should be able to treadle gently with the balls of your feet without straining your legs. If you feel tension in your calves or shins, try adjusting your chair. We call this "The Goldilocks Effect"—when everything's set just right, the Hopper will feel perfect!

SpinOlution wheels are made from high-quality Baltic birch plywood. Please note that occasional knots or patches may appear in the wood—these are natural characteristics from the wood manufacturer and are not within SpinOlution’s control. While we do our best to select the finest materials, these cosmetic variations are a normal part of working with real wood and do not affect the performance or durability of the wheel.

The product can differ slightly from shown photos, since we try to improve our products continuously.
