Ashford Traveller 3 Spinning Wheel - Unfinished

Ashford Traveller 3 Spinning Wheel

The new Traveller 3 design is reminiscent of the original Traveller first made back in 1977. With some great new improvements for 2023, it is sure to be very popular. 

This lightweight, compact castle wheel will spin fine to medium yarn using the 4 drive ratios and bulky yarn with the optional jumbo flyer.

The repositioned flyer provides comfort and easy access for both right and left hand spinners.

The wheel is easy to start with double treadles that are hinged to allow a comfortable heel-toe action. The redesigned drive wheel produces 20% more momentum which translates to less effort required to treadle.

Ball bearings make treadling smooth and effortless. Add this castle-style spinning wheel to your cart today.
