Ask me about layaway for items in my shop if this would work for you.

Fill your bobbins evenly with the squeeze-and-slide stainless steel hook. Fiberglass arms make these flyers light and strong. The yarn is controlled in the hook as you spin. Flyers are available natural or lacquer to match your wheel and include one bobbin. Graphite fiberglass arms make this flyer light and strong.

(KSFK) The Kiwi Jumbo Flyer was discontinued years ago when Ashford came up with the Kiwi Super Flyer Kit for making those chunky, bulky art yarns. The Kiwi Super Flyer has a huge 27mm (1 1/8in) orifice and has awesome new free-flow yarn guides on a sliding hook flyer. (Note - in the tutorial video I say 25mm (1in) this is incorrect, it should have been 27mm). The kit includes 3 super-size bobbins which have a 500gm capacity, so less time changing bobbins and more yarn on the bobbin. Also included is a lazy kate and a new drive belt. The new Kiwi Super Flyer will fit all Kiwi 2 and Kiwi spinning wheels. Choose natural or lacquered to match your wheel.

Choose from the drop-down options box at upper right.

Elizabeth - 8, 10.5 and 14:1
Traditional Single Drive - 6.5, 9, 12 and 18:1, Double Drive - 7.5, 9.5 and 13:1
