About The Wheel

The Ashford Joy 2 is an absolutely delightful wheel to spin on, as well as being ideal for smaller spaces or for taking your spinning out and about with you. Beautiful to look at and loved by spinners everywhere, the Ashford Joy 2 is definitely a must-try wheel.

The Ashford Joy 2 comes in a choice of single or double treadle.

Why is it so popular?

• It’s ready to go when you are – no set-up required.
•  It’s easily portable so you can take it wherever you go
• It has 4 ratios to fit with your speed requirements
• It is readily assembled and lacquered for you.
• It comes complete with it’s own carry bag.

This compact wheel is light weight (5kg/11lb) and portable with folding treadle(s), built-in lazy kate and carry handle. Fold and go – it can be carried easily in cars, as carry-on luggage in planes (check with your airline first as this varies from aircraft to aircraft) and takes up little space at home. Spin a variety of yarns using the four ratios. The stretchy drive cord does not require any adjustment as you change from one ratio to another and always maintains the correct tension. The wheel and flyer are mounted on ball bearings for effortless spinning. Smooth and quiet with treadles mounted on polyurethane hinges to allow a comfortable heel-toe action. The wheel comes assembled and lacquered, ready for spinning.
