DESCRIPTION

Spinning should feel like a peaceful rhythm, not a workout in frustration. The Ashford Kiwi 3 Spinning Wheel is a beautifully balanced blend of convenience and exceptional design, designed with the needs of modern fibre artists in mind. Whether you're just beginning or deep in your spinning journey, this wheel brings joy, simplicity, and portability to every project.

Before the Kiwi 3, you may have felt limited by bulky, noisy wheels that were hard to store or take to workshops. However, this clever design folds neatly away and glides quietly as you spin, allowing you to bring your wheel wherever your creativity takes you. The double treadle action feels light underfoot, the built-in Lazy Kate keeps your workflow smooth, and the generous bobbin capacity means fewer interruptions and more satisfying momentum.

It’s more than a tool, it’s a quiet, loyal companion that understands how precious your creative time really is.
