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.

Great for plying and for bulky yarn

This is a great wheel for plying and spinning bulky yarns. It is a shame it only comes with one bobbin though

Needs accessories before you start

Before assembling the wheel you need to wax or treat all the wood, and then once assembled you need to oil some moving parts. If this requirement had been made clear I would have bought some wax and oil at the same time to avoid extra shopping and delay.Otherwise it's really good. Assembly instructions are easy to follow and all the parts fit together well.
