History of spinning

Did you know that spinning wool and spinning other fibres such as flax and cotton is ancient textile art. Spinning yarn began with plant, and animal fibres being drawn out and twisted together to form yarn. For thousands of years, fibre was spun by hand using simple tools, the spindle and distaff. Spinning wool and other luxury fibres are becoming increasingly popular again.

Spinning Wheel Carry Bags

Take your spinning wheel anywhere with the Ashford spinning wheel carry bags. We currently offer sturdy, padded carry bags for the Ashford Joy 1 and Joy 2 wheels, as well as for the Kiwi 3 wheel. These bags are spacious and come with shoulder straps and pockets.

Double Treadle Kits

Upgrade your single treadle spinning wheels to double treadle with the Ashford double treadle kits, available for the Ashford Traditional and Ashford Traveller spinning wheels. When using both feet while spinning, it encourages the spinner to sit directly in front of the wheel, paving the way for observing proper posture and balance.

Flyer Kits

Included in our range of Ashford spinning wheel replacement parts are the Ashford spinning wheel flyers and flyer kits.

• Ashford Standard Flyer - compatible with the single drive Traditional and Traveller spinning wheels. The standard flyer upgrades your Ashford wheel by making it more efficient for spinning fine yarn.
• Ashford Basic Jumbo Flyer - compatible with the single drive Traditional and Traveller spinning wheels. The basic jumbo flyer features a large bobbin and orifice that allows the user to spin chunky yarns. It’s the ideal choice for production-level spinning and plying.
• Ashford Kiwi Super Flyer Kit - compatible with the Ashford Kiwi spinning wheel models. This kit includes everything you need, from super-sized bobbins, a lazy kate, and a new drive belt.
• Ashford Joy Sliding Hook Flyer Kit - compatible with the Ashford Joy spinning wheel models. It comes with a jumbo bobbin, a nylon brake band, tension springs, and a replacement top shaft.

Lazy Kate

Ashford offers two types of Lazy Kates to make the spinning process more efficient. These are the Tensioned Lazy Kate, which features an adjustable brake tension, quick and easy bobbin change, a stainless steel yarn guide, and a carry handle; and the Upright Lazy Kate, which is the vertical and non-tensioned version. Both of these tools will make plying a breeze.
