This is a fine,smooth and easy wheel.What a pleasure to use.Ashford makes the best stuff.
I really appreciated how simple the Ashford Kiwi 3 was to assemble. Everything was well-explained. Am just starting to spin with it, and so far so good. No complaints. Straightforward to use. Looking forward to many years of use.
I still need to assemble it but it will be a good travel wheel for me
The kiwi 3 is and adorable wheel, and the wood really came alive while I was finishing it. Putting together the wheel was quick and the instructions were clear and simple to follow. This is my first wheel and it has been great to learn on, it is very easy to trouble shoot what I'm doing wrong and the wheel is very forgiving of any errors I make. My goal has always been to spin lace weight yarns and I'm making far faster progress in that direction than I expected thanks to the ease of use of this wheel. When I ordered my kiwi 3, it got placed on back order but the Paradise fibers folk were always reachable and kept me updated on the progress of the shipment when I inquired about it.
I got this for my daughter-in-law as a holiday present, and she loves it! It spins thin to thick yarns beautifully. She loves the double treadle.
The new Kiwi 3 has folding treadles, timber veneered MDF wheel, three speed whorl and a wooden threading hook!
With all the great features of the Kiwi 2, the enhanced Kiwi 3 will be even more in demand from new and experienced spinners everywhere.
