Can the Ashford Traditional spin bulky or art yarns?
Yes, with the addition of a jumbo flyer and bobbin, with its generous orifice size of 15mm (⅝"), it can accommodate bulkier yarns.
Is the Ashford Traditional suitable for beginners?
Absolutely, its classic design and ease of use make it ideal for beginners.
How does the single treadle compare to double treadle models?
Single treadle models are traditional, but some spinners find double treadles offer more balanced and comfortable treadling. It all comes down to personal preference. If you have the opportunity we recommend trying both styles to see what you're most comfortable with.
What maintenance does the Ashford Traditional require?
Regular oiling of moving parts and occasional replacement of the drive band are recommended for optimal performance.
Are replacement parts readily available for older models?
Yes, Ashford typically provides replacement parts for older models, ensuring longevity and continued use.
How portable is the Ashford Traditional Spinning Wheel?
It is more suited for stationary use but can be disassembled for transport, and is compact enough that it may fit in a car boot or back seat.
Does the wheel accommodate left-handed spinners?
As the flyer is on the left-hand side of the wheel, some left-handed spinners may find a wheel with a more versatile design, such as the Schacht Flat Iron, to be more comfortable. The Flat Iron allows the flyer to be positioned on either the right or left side of the spinner, offering greater flexibility. Alternatively, a castle-style wheel like the Ashford Kiwi 3 or Schacht Matchless might also be a more ergonomic choice.
What types of fibers can be spun on this wheel?
The Ashford Traditional is versatile and can handle a wide range of fibers, including wool, cotton, and silk.
How does the Ashford Traditional compare to the Ashford Traveller?
The Traditional is a classic saxony style of wheel with the flyer offset from the center. It also has a larger wheel and is less portable, while the Traveller is a castle style of wheel, more compact and portable.
