Start your creative journey with this popular wheel from Ashford. This wheel is straight forward traditional design and is a fantastic starter wheel. This Ashford wheel is available in Double Drive or Single Drive models depending on your preference and budget. It isn't a great choice for hauling around to guild meetings as it isn't that portable from our experience here at the shop and is best left setup and stationary. The action is smooth for the price range and will last for years. Call anytime for more information about our wheels 888-320-7746. A Left-handed Traditional Wheel model also available upon request.

Great all around wheel October 11, 2007
Reviewer: Ava Keeler from Wellsboro, PA United States  
This was so much fun to finish and put together, very easy, too.  The traditional single drive wheel was my first wheel after learning to spin on a drop spindle.  Very beginner friendly, and I find that I can spin and ply a great variety of thicknesses.  It does sometimes get difficult to treadle when plying, but that usually is corrected by adjusting the bobbin brake band.  I'm not really crazy about the horizontal lazy kate because of the backspinning of the plies which leads to tangling, but sometimes I lay the lazy kate on its edge so the plies come off vertically and that really helps.  This is a good wheel for beginner or experienced  spinner, travels well, too!

I love my Traditional September 24, 2007
Reviewer: Lindsay Lee from Denton, TX United States  
I have been spinning on this wheel for almost a year with great pleasure and great success. I highly recommend it. It is great for beginners, and there are plenty of upgrades available to accommodate your growing skill level. I only gave it 4 stars of 5 because I find that the plastic orifice fittings are a bit flimsy. However, they are cheap and easy to replace. I have had a few problems with the drive band, but I think it's just user error and nothing to do with the wheel. It is a very good wheel and a good price. A great way to get started spinning.
