Mach 1 Spinning Wheel

This is a comparison of the Mach 1's bobbin and the Ashford travellers bobbin. As you can see the ashford bobbin is smaller. Actually I can not always fit 4 oz of fiber on the ashford bobbin. It always depends on the thickness I am achieving. On the bobbin of the Mach 1 there is 3 oz already spun DK weight and you can tell we have a lot more that we can put on the bobbin!!
