I've spun a yarn on a wheel with a dowel in it's center. Can you tell me how the flyer assembly works. How does the spool suddenly take up slack? How does the flyer and bobbin assembly work together? My mom wants to make a quilt made from hand spun thread.

any help and or information you can give me will be greatly apprecheated to be sure!

Thank you

Tony

Could someone give me some details on how the flyer works??? I'm having trouble trying to wrap my mind around how the spool knows when to take up new yarn and how does it spread out on the bobbon with out bunching up in one spot? I'd LOVE to make my own spinning wheel but this part iiludes me to be sure!

Hi Tony,
The first bit of advice I would give to anyone wanting to build a working spinning wheel is to learn to spin yourself first. There are lots of little details about spinning wheels that only come to light when you try to spin on them.

I'll try and answer you queries in a sperate mail, I'm fast running out of room on this post.

Thanks for your interest - Bye for now!

I tried doing that but the flyer is too precise and you you would have to have years of experience to make a wheel. Buy a wheel. Learn how to spin. Then maybe you could attempt to make one.

Glad to be of help! If you are only just learning to spin, you might need to get a bit of practice in before attempting the longdraw. You do need to have good control of your wheel, and it needs to be set up with a really light draw-on tension. I always find it easiest on a Scotch tensioned wheel.

Thanks - Bye for now!
