The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is built for spinners who love bold textures, thick yarns, and creative freedom. With its extra-large orifice, powerful double treadle drive, and enormous bobbin capacity, this wheel is purpose-designed for art yarns, bulky spinning, and felting fibres.
Features
- Orifice Size: Giant 27 mm (1⅛″) orifice to accommodate even the chunkiest yarns.
- Bobbin Capacity: Massive super-jumbo bobbin holds up to 1.4 kg (3 lb) of yarn.
- Drive System: Single-drive bobbin-led system offers consistent twist and strong take-up.
- Ratios: Two speed ratios — 3.25:1 and 1.5:1 — ideal for low-twist, thick yarns.
- Treadling: Smooth double treadle operation for balanced and easy spinning
- Construction: Solid Silver Beech hardwood, finished with a clear lacquer for lasting beauty and protection.
- Dimensions: Drive wheel diameter 46 cm (18″); weight approx. 7.5 kg (16.5 lb).
Why It Stands Out
This wheel doesn’t just handle large and textured fibres—it excels at them. Whether you're producing lumpy-bumpy art yarns, roving yarns for weaving, or experimenting with creative blends, the Country Spinner 2 gives you space, control, and strength.
A favourite among fibre artists, production spinners, and weavers looking to create statement yarns with personality and presence.
