Details
The Ashford Country Spinner 2 is a specialist wheel for extra bulky yarn, art yarn and plying big batches. The 1 1/8 in orifice takes really thick yarn, the bobbin holds up to 3 lb, and the slow ratios and sensitive leather brake give you control over heavy fiber. Ball bearings and a double treadle on wide-spaced boards make it easy to start and treadle.

Spare bobbins
The Country Spinner 2 runs only its own super jumbo flyer, which takes the Country Spinner Bobbin, and spares are the same bobbin. A two-ply needs three bobbins, because the empty one you're winding onto counts. That's the one in the box plus two spares, and the same bobbin runs on the e-Spinner Super Jumbo.
For the same super jumbo flyer and bobbin without treadling, the e-Spinner Super Jumbo runs on a 12 volt motor. For everyday yarn from fine through worsted, the Traditional spins faster ratios through a 3/8 in orifice.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's built for bulky yarn, and its fastest ratio, 5:1, is for fine to medium bulky yarn and plying. For truly fine yarn, a wheel with higher ratios will suit you better.
Use 3:1 for bulky yarn with the least twist, 4:1 for medium to bulky yarn, and 5:1 for fine to medium bulky yarn and plying.
Very little. The Country Spinner is bobbin lead, so the drive band turns the bobbin and the yarn winds on strongly, and Ashford's advice is to set the leather brake to a minimum.
A drop of spinning wheel oil on the flyer, bobbin and conrod bearings keeps it easy to treadle. The ball bearings are sealed for life and don't need oil.
