The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is a specialist treadle spinning wheel engineered for the creation of extra-bulky yarns, art yarns, rug weft and bulk plying. With its large orifice, heavy-capacity bobbin and double-treadle design, it allows fibre artists to generate dramatic textures and make long runs of thick yarn with ease. The timber frame gives a stable base, while careful design ensures smooth treadling and controlled tension—a must when working with chunky fibres and novelty effects.
Whether you’re designing rugs, heavy blankets, dramatic knits or wrapping yarns, the Country Spinner 2 handles large volumes and heavy yarns with confidence. The large 46 cm (18″) wheel diameter delivers momentum, while the 27 mm (1⅛″) orifice ensures you can feed thick rovings or slub yarns without constraint.
The inclusion of a double treadle (with polyurethane hinge joints) means both comfort and efficiency—ideal for production or extended spinning sessions.
