The Ashford Country Spinner

What an unusual looking wheel!  I have seen people stand around and marvel as spinners demonstrate their craft using this wheel.  It is definitely an attention getter!  The Country Spinner was designed with bulky and novelty yarns in mind.  The large orifice allows a smooth flow of yarn onto the extra large bobbins that hold over 2 pounds of yarn.  The Country Spinner comes standard with double treadle and is unfinished.
