The Ashford Traveller is both small and beautiful – the ideal travelling companion, as the name suggests!

The new Traveller 3 design is reminiscent of the original Traveller first made back in 1977 complete with some great new improvements.

Traveller 3 features:

  • A beautiful, classic upright castle wheel with an aesthetically designed centralised flyer location suitable for both left and right-hand spinners.
  • Four speed single drive flyer with stretchy polycord drive band eliminates any flyer vibration and makes changing ratios a breeze.
  • Convenient storage for wooden handle threading hook with longer hook for easier threading.
  • Scotch tension for simple, smooth accurate tension adjustment.
  • Built-in lazy kate (that will also accommodate Jumbo bobbins).
  • The 46cm (18”) drive wheel is now heavier resulting in 20% more momentum which means even less effort required to treadle.
  • Stainless steel ball bearings, polyurethane hinge and conrod joints, and double treadle for comfortable, balanced, and effortless treadling.
  • Quick and easy to assemble with a compact footprint.
