Introduction

SPINNING: Ashford Wheels

Ashford Spinning Wheels arrive as kits with assembly instructions (the Joy does not require assembly). All wheels are made of New Zealand Beech, an attractive and durable hardwood. Various finishes are available. We list four wheels and some accessories here; Ashford offers much more – please ask for details.

The Traditional is an excellent first wheel. Choose single-drive (scotch tension) or double-drive. Easy to learn on, it takes a variety of add-on kits that adapt it to specialized forms of spinning. These include a lace flyer, 2 styles of jumbo flyer, a quill, double-treadle conversion and (for the double-drive) a high-speed kit. Unfinished, natural finish or walnut finish. Left-handed version is available.

The Traveller is a good choice if size and portability are a consideration. A castle wheel with a built-in lazy kate. Choose single-drive or double-drive. Most of the accessories which fit the Traditional will also fit the Traveller.

The Elizabeth is the fairy-tale wheel, saxony type, with a sloping table and ornate wood turning. The metal parts are brass. It comes in a double-drive style (convertible to single-drive). The twelve spoke wheel and intricate turnings maker a truly elegant wheel. It also takes most of the accessory kit options.

The Joy is the ultimately portable wheel: 11 LB, airplane carry-on size. The flyer and bobbins fit into the frame and the treadle board folds flat. It comes assembled, ready-to-go, with a clear lacquer finish. Now made from golden timber veneered board, and the frame has recently been modified for extra strength.
