Ashford Tension Spring – Maintain Smooth Take-Up with Precision Tension Control
The Ashford Tension Spring is a genuine replacement part used on Ashford spinning wheels with Scotch tension systems. It provides the necessary resistance to the brake band, allowing you to fine-tune how much tension is applied to the bobbin during spinning. This ensures smooth, controlled take-up whether you're spinning fine singles or bulky yarns.
Over time, springs can stretch or lose tension — replacing them restores proper performance and responsiveness to your wheel
