Ashford Double Drive Bobbin | Lacquered Finish
91.29 د.إ
Upgrade your spinning efficiency with the Ashford Lacquered Double Drive Bobbin. Engineered for the mechanical precision of the Double Drive Traditional, Traveller, and Elizabeth wheels, this bobbin features a protective, smooth-gloss finish. The factory lacquer prevents lanolin buildup and ensures that even the finest lace-weight yarns won’t snag, while the specialized grooved whorl ensures synchronized take-up and perfect tension throughout your spinning session.
The Lacquered Advantage
In 2026, as makers prioritize tool longevity and fiber care, the lacquered finish has become a favorite for professional production. Unlike natural wood, which can become “grabby” over time by absorbing oils and moisture, the factory-applied lacquer creates a permanent barrier. This results in a slick surface that allows your yarn to wind on and off with zero friction—a critical requirement when spinning high-twist singles or plying at high speeds.
Double Drive Precision
This bobbin is the mechanical heart of the Double Drive system. It features a precision-machined whorl on the flange that interacts directly with the drive band. Because the flyer and bobbin are driven simultaneously, you achieve a level of consistency in your “twist per inch” that is difficult to replicate on single-drive systems.
Cleanliness and Durability
Artisan spinning often involves “spinning in the grease” (using unwashed wool). The lacquered surface is incredibly easy to maintain; simply wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove any dust or lanolin. The finish also highlights the beautiful grain of the New Zealand Silver Beech, making these bobbins as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional. With a 100g (4oz) capacity, they are ideally sized for both fine lace projects and substantial plying tasks.
