Does the Ashford Country Spinner 2 spinning wheel come with the sliding flyer hooks as standard or do these need to be purchased separately

The Ashford Country Spinner 2 comes with Sliding Flyer Hooks and a Country Spinner bobbin.

What materials are used in the Ashford Country Spinner 2's construction?

The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is crafted from New Zealand Silver Beech hardwood, known for its durability and attractive appearance.

Does the Ashford Country Spinner 2 require regular maintenance?

Regular maintenance includes oiling the flyer, bobbin, and conrod bearings. The ball bearings are sealed and do not require lubrication. It's also recommended to remove the drive belt when not in use to prevent stretching.

Can the Ashford Country Spinner 2 be used for spinning fine yarns?

While the Country Spinner 2 is designed for bulky and art yarns, experienced spinners have successfully spun finer yarns on it by adjusting tension and practicing control. However, it excels in producing thick and textured yarns.

What is the orifice height of the Ashford Country Spinner 2?

The orifice height of the Ashford Country Spinner 2 is approximately 72.5 cm (28.5 inches), accommodating a comfortable spinning position for most users.

Yes, additional bobbins with a large capacity of up to 2.2 lbs are available for the Country Spinner 2, allowing for extended spinning sessions without frequent yarn changes.

How does the Ashford Country Spinner 2 handle different yarn thicknesses?

The Country Spinner 2's large orifice (1 1/16 inches), Irish tension system, and slow drive ratios (3, 4, 5:1) make it ideal for spinning a range of yarn thicknesses, but it is particularly well suited for spinning bulky and highly textured yarns.

Is the Ashford Country Spinner 2 suitable for beginners?

While designed for creating bulky and art yarns, the Country Spinner 2's straightforward mechanics and double treadle system can be suitable for beginners interested in producing thick yarns. However, those aiming to spin fine yarns might find it less versatile.

What is the weight of the Ashford Country Spinner 2?

The Ashford Country Spinner 2 weighs approximately 8 kg (17.5 lbs), providing stability during spinning sessions while remaining manageable for movement if necessary.

Can the Ashford Country Spinner 2 be easily disassembled for transport?

The Country Spinner 2 is not specifically designed for frequent disassembly or transport due to its size and construction, making it more suitable as a stationary wheel.
