Many spinners describe it as a \"fairy tale\" wheel, and it will be a treasure for years to come. But the Elizabeth isn't just beautiful. It's a serious, high-performance wheel built for spinners who want the best of both worlds: a wheel that looks stunning in your living room and performs flawlessly in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a 30In Wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheel diameter is one of the most underappreciated factors in spinning. The large 76 cm wheel provides excellent inertia, keeping a steady rhythm with less effort from you - a real benefit during long sessions. The momentum of a big wheel also makes it far easier to control your twist, especially when spinning fine fibers. If you've ever fought a small wheel that stops the moment you pause your treadling, you'll understand immediately why experienced spinners love a large wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Saxony Style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saxony is the most iconic traditional spinning wheel style, characterized by a large wheel on one end and the flyer assembly on the other, supported by three legs. Beyond the romance of the style, there are real ergonomic advantages. The orifice sits lower to the ground compared to upright castle-style wheels, making it a comfortable choice for spinners who find taller wheels awkward. The horizontal layout also gives the wheel a grounded, stable presence that many spinners find more natural and relaxing over long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elizabeth takes the classic Saxony design and executes it with premium materials and precision engineering. This isn't a decorative piece that happens to spin - it's a precision instrument that happens to be gorgeous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes the Elizabeth Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30In wheel has 12 spokes and runs on ball bearings for smooth, effortless spinning. The maiden bar adjusts horizontally for perfect flyer alignment, letting you dial in tension exactly where you need it and eliminate vibration entirely. The double drive system produces a fine, firm-twist yarn well-suited to fine wools and exotic fibers, while Scotch tension mode gives you more flexibility for other spinning styles. The treadle pivots for a natural heel-to-toe action you can maintain comfortably for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle treadle works well for most spinning. Double treadle is worth considering if you do long production sessions or prefer a more even, powerful rhythm with less fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory lacquered beech hardwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrifice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 10 mm (3\/8In)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrifice Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69 cm (27.25In)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76 cm (30In)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.3 kg (25 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Ratios\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5, 13.5, 18:1, and 22:1 (bobbin lead)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBobbin Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 g (3-4 oz) per bobbin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Double Drive Bobbins (Lacquered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensioned Lazy Kate (for holding bobbins while plying)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden Threading Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to Spin Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle of Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e2e8f0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 24px 0; background: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eWhy buy your Ashford wheel from Paradise Fibers\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips free\u003c\/strong\u003e in the contiguous United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 day returns\u003c\/strong\u003e on unused products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService and repair in-house\u003c\/strong\u003e at our Spokane Washington shop, the only Ashford dealer in the country with a dedicated wheel-repair tech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTry it in our shop\u003c\/strong\u003e, call ahead so we can have it ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ashford","offers":[{"title":"Single Treadle","offer_id":44929202585776,"sku":"ESW30L","price":1705.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Double Treadle","offer_id":44929202618544,"sku":"ESW30DTL","price":1725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1169\/5498\/files\/ESW30L_path2.webp?v=1771976261"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1169\/5498\/collections\/ashford-traditional-spinning-wheel-ashford-3632834_9ba08827-af0a-4daa-a05e-921e05430ec0.png?v=1776534404","url":"https:\/\/paradisefibers.com\/collections\/ashford-double-drive-wheels.oembed","provider":"Paradise Fibers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
