Ashford "Elizabeth 2" Spinning Wheel

Wheel diameter: 24"

Orifice: 3/8"

Bobbin capacity: 3-4 ounces

Ratios: 8.5:1, 11:1, 15:1(& 18:1 bobbin lead)

Weight: 20 lbs

 Comes with: 3 speed whorl.  Double drive and scotch tension, basic spinning instruction booklet, threading hook, 4 bobbins, and horizontal lazy kate.

This continues the classic style of the former Elizabeth with some wonderful improvements:
You’ll find the new Elizabeth beautifully proportioned with a new 24”drive wheel.
This larger drive wheel provides 30% more momentum for easier, relaxing spinning.
Ball bearings allow smooth, effortless treadling.
Maiden bar adjustment allowing perfect alignment with all whorl speeds.
Clamp knob under the maiden bar to eliminate vibration.

The Ashford Elizabeth 2 comes as a kit wheel--that is, unassembled, with illustrated assembly instructions.  If you would like us to assemble your wheel, we can do so, but you will need to arrange to pick it up from us, as the assembled wheels are not very "shippable".

Prices:

Free shipping on this wheel in the lower 48 states.
