This lightweight, compact castle wheel will spin fine to medium yarn using the 4 drive ratios and bulky yarn with the optional jumbo flyer. The wheel is easy to start with double treadles that are hinged to allow a comfortable heel-toe action. Ball bearings make treadling smooth and effortless.
Scotch Tension
The separate drive band and bobbin brake adjustment is easy to understand and simple to operate. Four bobbins are supplied and are quick and easy to change.
Double drive.
This option for the operting of the spinning system is more delicate to adjust and not so popular. There is no advantage in this model of wheel as both types do exactly the same job with scotch tension being easier. Give us a call if you want to discuss wheels as we are happy to talk you through the systems.

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.

We never sell items that we don't have in stock, so you know that if you buy today your equipment will be on it's way to you in no time. We aim to ship all orders within 2 working days, though occasionally this may be a day or two longer if we've been particularly busy (eg Christmas period).

If for any reason it turns out that we don't have the item you've requested then we'll always contact you to let you know.
