Spinning with your fingers is a very slow process that will produce an irregular yarn. Using a drop spindle will ease the process. A drop spindle is made of a round stick to which a flat round disk has been attached. A string is attached to this disk and the drop spindle hangs with the disk down. On one hand the spinner holds fibres to be spun, the other hand takes small amounts of fibres and adds this to the existing yarn.

The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is designed to spin art yarns, the extra bulky yarn used in rug weaving and chunky knitting, or for plying bulk quantities. Its extra-large orifice with slow drive ratios and sensitive leather flyer brake system are ideal for creating unique art yarns.
The double treadle with polyurethane hinges paves the way for effortless treadling. Choose either natural timber or smooth lacquer finish.

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.
Are additional bobbins available for the Ashford Country Spinner 2?
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.
What are the available spinning ratios on the Ashford Country Spinner 2?
The Country Spinner 2 offers three spinning ratios: 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1, allowing spinners to select the appropriate speed for their bulky and textured yarn projects.
