Ashford Country Spinner Spinning Wheel
The Ashford Country Spinner is specially designed for spinning chunky or bulky yarn.
If you are interested in spinning thinner yarns as well, then ask me about adding a jumbo flyer to one of the other wheels. If you are only interested in spinning big yarns, then this is your wheel.
It has a double treadle as standard, which makes treadling easier and makes it possible to start and stop the wheel with your feet.
- Double-treadle
- Orifice 2.3cm (7/8in)
- Wheel diameter: 46cm (18")
- Bobbin capacity: 900gm - 1kg
- Ratios: 4:1
Wheels travel for free, and all are below recommended retail price. Most are 'flat-packed' for shipping and require some basic assembly.
