The scotch tension allows easy control of the drafting process. The central flyer is convenient for right and left-handed spinners. This spinning wheel is easy and quick to assemble with the Allen key supplied and the robust construction makes this an ideal wheel for individuals, schools and clubs.

"My wife currently has 6 different apparatuses for spinning. I bought this one for her because she needed a carrying bag for one. Once it arrived, I finished the wood and assembled it. The materials and ease of assembly are fantastic. She was quite surprised to see it and get an Ashford spinning wheel. Since receiving it, it has been her number one to go to. She works with it on a daily basis."
"I am absolutely in love with my new wheel."
"This wheel is my first wheel and so far it seems like a great wheel to learn on. The wheel part itself is not solid wood, but a composite. It’s fairly easy to start on and portable. I think it’s a great wheel!"
"Beautiful spinning wheel-looking forward to using it soon."
"This is my first wheel after learning on a drop spindle, and it lives up to its great reputation. I spent several days staining mine and then finishing with Danish oil. Putting together was not difficult, really good step by step directions. Now I've been using it and it's working wonderfully!"
"I love my Kiwi 3! It was so easy to learn and develop my spinning skills over the last 8 months. I enjoy that it’s easy to move and travel. As a beginner, it was user friendly and wasn’t intimidating."
"I really like my Kiwi 3. It is not intimidating at all as a beginner spinner. I like that I can fold it up and put against the wall so that it is not in the way. Easy to put together. I appreciated the bag of wool that came with it. I had to order oil separately because it does not come with some and you need it!!! I am not a fan of the built in lazy Kate- the yarn gets wound around the peddle polls, but maybe it is user error. I did order the jumbo attachment to do art yarn."
"Very easy action and plan to spend much time with it"
"I've been using this spinner for about six months and have had an excellent experience. After waxing all of the parts, I had no problem putting it together. The tension adjusts easily, and the mechanism is very smooth. Spinning with the kiwi is what I wanted it to be -- relaxing and calming."
"This is my very first wheel and I'm in love! I stained and sealed it and finally got it together. I had a little trouble with the instructions but was able to figure it out. The biggest problem for me was trying to find out what type of stain to use. I finally went to the website and chatted with someone who could help me."
