This is the spinning wheel for big yarns! The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is a specialist wheel designed to spin extra bulky yarn used in rug weaving and chunky knitting, or for plying bulk quantities from smaller bobbins. The Country Spinner spinning wheel has a huge bobbin capacity of two plus pounds. No more worries about filling up small bobbins when spinning big, novelty art yarns.
The orifice is extra large. The ball bearings and double treadle allows for an easy start and treadling. The slow drive ratios and sensitive leather flyer brake system are ideal for creating unique novelty yarns.
New 3 speed bobbin with easy 3, 4 & 5:1 ratios and capacity of up to 2.2lb (1kg). New polyurethane con-rod joints for smooth heal and toe treadling. Wider spaced treadle boards. Arched rails and factory assembled sides are easily assembled with bolts and barrel nuts. New maintenance free Polyurethane hinges for smooth and effortless treadling. Soft leather brake band and sensitive tension adjustment. Huge 1 1/16" (27mm) flyer orifice for really thick yarns. Provision for plying from 2 bobbins. New nylon universal bearings for the con rod.
