Scotch tensioned, Solid Medium Density Fiberboard wheel.
Comes with basic spinning instruction booklet, threading hook, lazy kate, and 3
bobbins.
The Ashford Kiwi 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".

Sliding Hook Flyers
