For over 90 years, the Ashford Traditional has remained one of the world’s most widely used spinning wheels. Its large 56cm (22") drive wheel, upright design, and solid Beech hardwood construction offer smooth momentum and long-term durability.

Available in both Single Drive (Scotch tension) and Double Drive, the Traditional model offers versatility for a wide range of spinning styles.

Choose the setup that matches your preference - both models share the same classic structure, but differ in tension system and drive ratios.

Traditional Single Drive (Scotch Tension)

The Single Drive Traditional uses a Scotch tension system, allowing easy, precise control of yarn take-up. This version is often chosen for its straightforward setup and consistent adjustment. The bobbins are quick and easy to change. Scotch tension and 4 speed flyer allow for a wide variety of yarn to be spun. Horizontal adjustment of the maiden bar allows perfect alignment with the 4 speed whorl.
