FAQs

Q: What spinning wheels is this drive band compatible with?
A: It’s designed for Ashford’s Kiwi, Traditional, Traveller, Elizabeth, and Joy wheels. Suitable for both single drive and double drive configurations depending on how it's tied.

Q: How do I attach the drive band?
A: Cut the band to the required length and tie the ends with a firm knot. You can also slightly dampen the cotton before tying to help it hold tension better once dry.

Q: Is cotton better than synthetic drive bands?
A: Cotton drive bands offer natural grip, traditional feel, and gentler tension, especially for wooden flyers and bobbins. Some spinners prefer synthetic for stretch or durability, but cotton remains a trusted classic.
