Ashford Spinning Wheel - $650 OBO
Contact: Jane, at Lyon@sbcglobal.net Location: Northwest Fort Worth
Never-been-used. I brought it over from New Zealand when I thought I would take up spinning wool, and then never did. Ashford has an incredible following world-wide. This Traditional design is natural, unfinished wood, and comes with all that is shown in the picture. The only issue is the dowel/hinge that I circled has come loose. I am sure experienced spinners have their preferred products for re-gluing the dowel.
These are the specs for this spinning wheel from the Ashford website:
The most popular spinning wheel in the world.
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.
