ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOY 2 SPINNING WHEEL
SINGLE & DOUBLE TREADLE WITH A SLIDING HOOK FLYER
Your Joy 2 spinning wheel has been lacquered prior to assembly. If desired, the application of Ashford Wax Finish
may further enhance its appearance.
Disengage the latch.
Note: The screw on the
treadle board has been
tightened for shipping.
Loosen the screw, fold
the treadle board down
and lock the metal stays
into position.
Slide the clear sleeves
over the joint to secure
the metal stays.
Thread the 2 hooks into
the pilot holes in the
flyer base. Squeeze and
slide the stainless steel
yarn guides onto the
flyer arms.

Apply a drop of oil to the
flyer spindle and slide
the bobbin on. Ashford
spinning oil is ideal for
this purpose. Thread the
flyer spindle into the
top shaft. Hold the flyer
whorl with one hand and
rotate the flyer clockwise
with the other. Tighten
firmly.
Cut 40cm (16in) off the
brake band. Tie one end
to the spring attached
to the screw eye and
the other to the second
spring so that you have
27cm (10¾in) between
the 2 springs (See side
of this page). Tie one
end of the surplus nylon
to the second spring,
and thread the other
end through the tension
knob and tie a knot. Trim
off surplus nylon.
Thread the screw eye
with the brake band
spring attached into the
hole in the front frame.

Locate the two spare
bobbins onto the bobbin
holders in the front frame.
When plying or spinning
bring the bobbins forward.
Push them back before
folding the treadle up.
Insert the tapered tension
knob and threading hook
into the holes in the front.
Place the brake band into
the groove in the bobbin
and adjust the
tension knob so
the springs only
just begin to
stretch.
To make spinning easier
apply a drop of Ashford
Spinning Wheel
Oil to the flyer,
bobbin and
conrod bearings.
Note: The ball
bearings are
sealed for life
and do not
require oiling.

Folding up your Spinning Wheel
Joy carry bag
(Optional)
Always carry it by the built
in handle or in the optional
carry bag. Do not carry it by
the flyer which could bend
if handled
roughly.
Ratio
Position the stretchy drive
cord around the smallest
grove in the wheel and then
over the largest flyer whorl.
This gives a flyer to wheel
ratio of 6:1. The other ratios
are 8, 11 & 14:1. When
changing ratios ensure the
drive cord directly aligns
the wheel and flyer whorl.
When spinning coarse
fibres or thick yarns use the
slowest flyer speed of 6:1.
For fine fibres and yarns
use a higher ratio.

You are now ready to start spinning
Step 3
Sit in a comfortable position. A straight back
Ashford Spinning Chair is ideal. On the single
treadle Joy 2, treadle with either foot or both
tog
ether.
Step 4
The wheel is weighted so the crank will always
come to rest in the 1 o’clock position. To start
spinning just push down with your foot. Practice
treadling slowly clockwise.
Step 5
Join your prepared fibres onto the leader. Now you
are spinning singles. Treadle slowly.
Step 6
To ply two singles together, place two
bobbins of single ply yarn on the two
bobbin storage pins. Tie these two
yarns onto the leader. Treadle the
wheel anticlockwise.
For further spinning information
refer to “The Ashford Book of Hand
Spinning”, a 116 page book full of
ideas and inspirations for spinners.
Step 1
Tie a piece of yarn called a leader, about 1m (1yd) long, on
to the bobbin and wrap it around the bobbin several times
to prevent it slipping. Thread the leader yarn around the yarn
guide, hook and though the orifice.
Step 2
Adjust the tension knob so that the brake band springs are
only just starting to extended. Too much tension will make
treadling harder.
