Ashford Traditional

The Ashford Traditional has been the world’s most popular spinning wheel for over 90 years. Why is it so popular? The separate drive band and bobbin brake adjustment is easy to understand and simple to operate. The bobbins are quick and easy to change. Scotch tension and 4 speed flyer allow for a wide variety of yarn to be spun. Horizontal adjustment of the maiden bar allows perfect alignment with the 4 speed whorl.

Ball bearings and large 56cm (22ins) wheel makes treadling smooth and effortless and easy to maintain a steady speed. The wide legs give good stability especially when speed spinning. The treadle is pivoted to allow a comfortable heel-toe action. Lazy Kate and 4 bobbins included. The many optional accessories make this an extremely versatile wheel.

Features • Large 22 inch wheel • Robust • Versatile.

This wheel is lacquered using a electrostatic-charged water-based lacquer that is an environmentally friendly process, but still protects the wood for years and years. Want to apply your own finish?
