Ashford Wooden Boat Shuttle Bobbin Winder

There is a particular pleasure in beginning a weaving session with a row of smoothly, evenly wound shuttle bobbins waiting beside the loom. Ashford’s wooden bobbin winder makes that small ritual quick and satisfying, winding boat-shuttle bobbins and paper quills at a lively 12:1 ratio.

The broad wooden drive wheel turns smoothly on nylon bearings, while the tapered stainless-steel shaft grips different bobbin centres securely. Clamp it to a table, guide the yarn with one hand and wind with the other — fast, controlled and far more even than trying to improvise.

• Fast 12:1 winding ratio
• Tapered stainless-steel shaft, approximately 4–5.5mm diameter
• Smooth nylon bearings
• Natural timber finish
• Includes table clamp and one Ashford boat-shuttle bobbin

Designed especially for Ashford boat-shuttle bobbins and paper quills; it is not a spinning-wheel bobbin winder.
