Ashford Country Spinner 1: $700 
AVAILABLE Mar 29 in KELOWNA, BC ONLY.
Or anytime in the Castlegar-Nelson,
West Kootenay, BC area.


Excellent condition. With the huge bobbins and a 1” orifice, bulky yarns can be easily spun on it, and  smaller yarns too. Has a double treadle,  and is in excellent shape, no nicks, dents etc.
This and the extra bobbin and stand (lazy kate) are currently valued at about $1000 - $1100.
Approximate measurements are 35” high x 18” x 16”. The wheel is full size 18”. This version has a slightly smaller footprint than the Country 2.
One of the pic shows some of my plyed yarn with lots of room left on the bobbin: it is 625 yds. total and almost one pound!
Plus, it has a sweet fox on it that the previous owner must have put on it.  :)

The versatility of fibre is that it can be created into a smooth consistent yarn, or a textured yarn (or somewhere in between). Here, mohair locks were incorporated into this skein, which would give the end product a lively, interesting feel.
Skeins of wool for sale, hand spun and hand dyed.  All are marked with weight and composition of fibre.  Almost all of my skeins are comprised of wool and other fibres such as silk, bamboo, alpaca, mohair etc.  The prices vary depending on the weight and the type of fibre, and all are one of a kind.
