Ashford Handicrafts Ltd

In 1934, Walter Ashford founded the company Ashford Handicrafts Ltd, which is today recognized worldwide as a leading manufacturer of spinning wheels, looms, and textile equipment of the highest quality. Since the company’s inception, Ashford and their dedicated team have produced more than 900,000 spinning wheels and looms, testifying to a strong tradition of craftsmanship and innovation.

With nearly a century of experience, Ashford Handicrafts Ltd continues to set the standard in the textile industry, delivering products that combine functionality, durability, and aesthetics.

Sustainable products with a focus on quality and ease of use

The production uses the finest beech wood from sustainably managed forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Ashford’s spinning wheels, looms, and carders are the result of more than 90 years of expertise, extensive customer feedback, and continuous research and development.

The products are available either in natural wood or with an eco-friendly, water-based lacquer that ensures both durability and aesthetics. They are designed with a focus on simplicity, easy assembly, and user-friendliness, making them a pleasure to work with.

At the spinning mill in Milton, New Zealand, high-quality wool fibers are transformed into beautiful colors and luxurious blends.
