Lightweight and compact, the name says it all - an ideal travelling companion. A castle style wheel with a lovely traditional look, this wheel hearkens back to shetland spinning wheels of the past.
This wheel has a built in Lazy Kate, comes with 4 standard bobbins, 3 spinning ratios, double drive tensioning system, orifice hook and Learn to Spin Booklet. Comes in natural or lacquered finish, single or double drive.
Wheel diameter is 18", and, as with all Ashford wheels, ball bearings for easy and quiet spinning and easy heel-toe action treadles.
