Ashford 3-Speed Jumbo Whorl | Double Drive Upgrade
د.إ85.33
Master the momentum of your jumbo projects with the Ashford Jumbo Double Drive 3-Speed Whorl. This precision-crafted accessory is designed to fit the larger diameter of Jumbo flyer shafts, providing three unique pulleys to fine-tune your torque and speed. Finished in Natural New Zealand Silver Beech, it is the essential tool for spinners who want to switch effortlessly between bulky singles and heavy plying without losing the mechanical advantage of their Double Drive system.
Torque Control for Heavy Lifting
In 2026, as art yarns become more structurally complex, the weight on your bobbin can increase significantly. The Jumbo 3-Speed Whorl is engineered to handle that extra weight. Because it is bored specifically for the thicker shaft of a Jumbo Flyer, it provides the necessary grip to keep a full 100g+ bobbin turning smoothly. By choosing the correct groove, you can ensure that the “pull” of the wheel remains consistent even as the bobbin fills.
The Three-Ratio Advantage
Think of this whorl as your wheel’s transmission. The three distinct sizes allow you to adapt to your fiber:
-
Large Groove (Slow): Maximum torque for very thick art yarns or when plying nearly-full jumbo bobbins.
-
Medium Groove (Standard): The versatile choice for bulky woolens and standard plying.
-
Small Groove (High): Ideal for plying thinner singles onto a jumbo bobbin at higher speeds.
Factory-Packaged Precision
This whorl comes Packaged, ensuring it reaches you in pristine condition with the exact bore measurements required for Ashford’s Double Drive systems. Crafted from sustainably sourced Natural Silver Beech, it is ready for your choice of finish. It is the perfect companion for the Traditional or Traveller spinner who has already upgraded to a Jumbo Flyer and needs more versatility in their speed ranges.
