Ashford Traveller Spinning Wheel

The Ashford Traveller is as well-made as the Traditional. It is made from New Zealand silver beech throughout.

It is an upright or 'castle' style wheel. The flyer is positioned over the wheel giving the wheel a much smaller footprint than the Traditional. The compact design is therefore more portable - it will fit in the boot of your car more easily than the Traditional or Elizabeth.

The flyer is quite high, 80cm from ground to orifice.

It has a double treadle as standard, which makes treadling easier and makes it possible to start and stop the wheel with your feet. It comes with Single drive, but there is a double-drive option.

Includes:

• 4 bobbins and built-in lazy Kate (pictured)
• Double treadle
• welcome pack including 'Start Spinning' booklet
• a fibre starter pack from me

Options for your Traveller wheel:

• sliding-hook flyer
• jumbo sliding-hook flyer
• lace flyer kit
• high-speed flyer kit
• double-drive version or double-drive kit to convert single-drive wheel
• double treadle kit (if you buy a new wheel from me it will be double-treadle, but if you have an older single-treadle wheel, the kit will convert it to double-treadle)
• extra bobbins
• free-standing lazy kate
• distaff
