The Ashford Joy Spinning Wheel is a compact, portable treadle wheel designed with the travelling spinner, compact studio or beginner in mind. Available in single- or double-treadle variants (Joy 2 series) with included carry bag and built-in lazy kate, the Joy offers full spinning functionality in a fold-flat, easy-to-transport package.  The wheel’s diameter of 40 cm (15¾″) and bobbin capacity around 130 g (4-5 oz) are ideal for medium count yarns and general purpose spinning. Ratios of 6:1, 8:1, 11:1, 14:1 give adequate versatility for fine to medium yarns.
Whether you’re spinning at home, teaching, taking your wheel to workshops or just have limited space, the Joy Spinning Wheel combines flexibility, portability and quality construction in one cohesive design.
