Why Choose Black Polyurethane?

Our Kromski drive bands are made from premium black polyurethane cord (1/8" diameter), which offers superior grip, durability, and stretch resistance compared to traditional rubber or leather bands. The material maintains consistent tension over time, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the need for frequent adjustments. Black polyurethane is also resistant to oils, moisture, and temperature changes, making it ideal for long-term use.

Installation & Use:

Installing your new Kromski drive band is simple—just remove your old band and install the new pre-fused band onto your drive wheel and flyer whorl. The custom length ensures a perfect fit for your specific model, providing optimal tension for smooth treadling and consistent fiber take-up. The professionally fused joint eliminates the bump of a knot, ensuring quiet, smooth operation.

DIY Option:

If you prefer to cut and fuse your own drive band, you can purchase drive band material by the foot in 1/8" diameter, 3/32" diameter, or black 1/8" diameter.

Care & Maintenance:

To maximize the life of your drive band, keep your drive wheel and flyer whorl clean and free of debris. Inspect your drive band regularly for signs of wear, stretching, or damage. Replace promptly if you notice excessive wear, cracking, or loss of tension. Store spare bands in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.

Handmade Quality:

Each Kromski drive band is handcrafted in my Spokane, Washington studio. We precision-cut each band to the exact length for your wheel model and professionally hand-fuse the ends to create a seamless, ready-to-install drive band. This attention to detail ensures consistent quality and reliable performance for every band we make, whether you're spinning laceweight or chunky art yarn.

If you have any questions about selecting the right model, installation, or caring for your drive band, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always here to answer questions and provide guidance on any of my products. I typically respond within five minutes, which I believe is extremely important in building rapport, credibility, and getting to know you as a customer.
