DESCRIPTION
The Ashford Traveller 3 is more than a spinning wheel, it's a thoughtfully crafted companion that brings ease and flow to your fibre practice. Whether you’re just beginning your spinning journey or looking to elevate your craft, this updated classic invites you to sit down and truly enjoy the process.
With its upright castle design and centralised flyer, the Traveller 3 supports left- and right-handed spinners equally, removing that small but persistent frustration of awkward angles. The heavier drive wheel means smoother treadling with less effort, so you can settle into a rhythm without strain.
The transformation is real, from struggling with uneven tension and clunky treadling to experiencing a soothing, intuitive glide. You’ll feel empowered by the responsiveness, and reassured by the precision. It’s not just about spinning yarn, it’s about creating space for joy, flow, and quiet accomplishment.
