Compact Wheel is Very Versatile October 12, 2007
Reviewer: Carolyn Hillis from BRUNSWICK, GA United States  
The Ashford Accelerated Charka is well made and has 2 ratios.  The higher ratio is ideal for spinning cotton, cashmere, camel down and other short fibers.  The lower ratio works well for wool and functions as a "mini" great wheel.  The only disadvantage is that the secondary drive band is a rubber band, which has to be replaced fairly often.  The spindle is a good size and holds a large amount of spun singles and can also be used as a bobbin winder.  Set up is very easy.

This is a great little wheel to travel with!
