ASHFORD JOY BAG: If you are a traveling spinner why n ot protect your Joy spinning wheel ! This spinning wheel bag has heavy foam throughout (including bottom) and made of pre-washed indigo denim cotton. Features include adjustable and removable cotton webbing straps, 2 carry handles on top and 3 front pockets (one large one zips up). Bottom is heavy weight naugahyde to resist moisture and soiling. Machine washable. This is a "top of the line" bag custom-made for The Woolery; don't accept just any bag offer because they are not the same.
My tote arrived last Friday, I believe, and all I could say is WOW! This is one high quality bag! It's on par with Lands' End or L.L. Bean, and I am simply delighted. The fit is almost snug, but not a problem. It just has to be eased over the handle, and that may loosen up a tad over time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - from a customer

ASHFORD COUNTRY SPINNER - Freebies with purchase (see below)
This Ashford wheel may not be your everyday wheel but for special spinning jobs and as a workhorse for plying large quantities from smaller bobbins, it is perfect.

If you think of the Country Wheel as a tool for the right jobs, rather than just a spinning wheel, your options are many.
The orifice size is 7/8"; ratios of 4:1; wheel diameter of 18"; and weighs 14.5 pounds. Comes with one large bobbin.
