The Ashford Kiwi 3 Spinning Wheel is a modern, mid-sized wheel that offers excellent all-round performance: good bobbin capacity, multi-ratio drive options, and a stable treadle base for serious spinners. With a robust design, ideal ball-bearing flyer, and attractive finish, it sits between compact and production-scale wheels—making it suitable for both home studios and small-business yarn production.
While exact specs vary by region, the Kiwi 3 is known for its reliability, flexibility across yarn counts (from lace to aran), and comfortable treadling ergonomics. For spinners seeking a versatile and long-term spinning investment, the Kiwi 3 fits the bill.

Benefits

• Versatile enough for different yarn types—ideal for makers producing multiple counts or small-business yarn lines.

Ideal Applications:

• Home studios producing hand-spun yarn for sale, craft markets or boutique use.
  

• Spinners creating yarns across multiple counts (lace, fingering, sport, DK) who need one wheel to handle many tasks.
  

• Small fibre business operations needing reliable output without floor-loom scale infrastructure.
  

• Instructional settings where wheel stability and user comfort matter for extended sessions.
  

• Makers combining spinning with dyeing, weaving or knitting who require consistent yarn quality.
