Specifications...

The new Traveller 3 design is reminiscent of the original Traveller first made back in 1977. With some great new improvements like a sliding hook flyer, it is sure to be very popular!

  • 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.

  • 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.

Caring for your wheel...

Maintaining your new spinning wheel is easy. Just apply a drop of water based oil (little & often) and give it a wipe down now and again. It will be easy to clean if it is waxed or factory lacquered. If you need additional bobbins, a niddy noddy, a replacement drive band or the occasional spare part then we are here for you.

Wax your new wheel...

Our wheel waxing service involves applying a coat of polishing wax. This will soak in - nourishing the wood, enhancing the natural grain and will help to give years of protection against finger marks.
