The new Traveller 3 design from Ashford is reminiscent of the original Traveller first made back in 1977. Listening to customer feedback is an important part of the product development process at Ashford, and the new Traveller 3 redesign was no exception.

Traveller 3 features:

  • A beautiful, classic upright castle wheel with an aesthetically designed centralized 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.
