Ashford Kiwi-3 Spinning Wheel Folding Treadle / Natural Finish w/ Super Flyer Kit & Jumbo Niddy Noddy - FREE Shipping

This is an excellent beginner wheel due to its easy learning ratios, double treadle and affordable price. The double treadle and ball bearings allow for easy treadling and “hands-free” start. Treadles are mounted on polyurethane hinges for a smooth, quiet and comfortable heel-toe action. The stretchy drive cord does not require any adjustment as you change from one ratio to another and always maintains the correct tension. The scotch tension allows easy control of the drafting process. The central flyer is convenient for right and left-handed spinners.

The new Kiwi 3 has folding treadles, timber MDF wheel, three speed whorl and a wooden threading hook!

With all the great features of the Kiwi 2, the enhanced Kiwi 3 will be even more in demand from new and experienced spinners everywhere.
