The Ashford Traveller 3 Spinning Wheel is designed specifically with portability, compact footprint and flexibility in mind. The 46 cm (18″) drive wheel, drop-in assembly, built-in lazy kate and double-treadle provide a comfortable spinning experience in a smaller package. With Scotch tension and a powerfully designed flyer system, it offers serious spinning performance despite its compact size.

As described by Ashford: "The 46cm (18″) drive wheel is now heavier resulting in 20% more momentum… stainless steel ball bearings … double treadle for comfortable, balanced treadling. This is an excellent choice for makers who travel, have limited studio space, want a high-quality second wheel or an entry into premium spinning without full studio size.

Benefits

• Excellent for spinning on the go, smaller studios or as a second wheel.

• Compact size does not compromise build quality or performance.

• Comfortable double-treadle and quality bearings provide smooth treadling.

• Versatility for fine to medium yarn production, accessory spinning, or travel.

Ideal Applications:

• Workshop or guild use where portability and set-up speed matter.

• Home studios with limit on floor space looking for a premium wheel.

• Fibre artists or spinners who travel (markets, festivals, workshops) and need a portable wheel.

• Makers producing accessory yarn lines, novelty counts or small-batch, varied yarns.

• Secondary wheel for a studio where the main production wheel is used for heavier counts.
