A word on double treadles. All Ashford wheels with double treadles will work if only a single treadle is used. It is not necessary to use both treadles. Treadling with a single foot either right or left works. Therefore, you have the options of two feet, or left or right foot treadling.
Optional SpinPlus+ Kit
- 1 Pair Wingham Standard Carders
- 1 Large Kromski Niddy Noddy, Clear finish
- 1 Ashford Yarn Gauge
£50 When bought with your wheel. RRP £60.
