What Customers Say

Rated 5 out of 5 — 28 verified reviews

Fill your bobbins evenly with the squeeze-and-slide stainless steel hook. Graphite fiberglass arms make this flyer light and strong. The yarn is controlled in the hook as you spin. Update your Ashford Traditional, Traveller and Elizabeth spinning wheels. The flyer is available natural or lacquer finish and includes one bobbin.

Orifice 15mm (1/2") orifice. Kit also includes 10mm (3/8") orifice reducer bushing and 10mm (3/8") flyer bearing reducer bushing (so you can use your standard flyer without changing bearings).

Great savings and very fast

"Great savings and very fast shipping."

Michael R. (5/5)

It’s Ashford, so absolutely amazing

"It’s Ashford, so absolutely amazing quality and a great price! Definitely would recommend and worth purchasing."

Stacy H. (5/5)

Ashford never disappoints!

"What I love about Ashford is you have to do a lot - but not too much- yourself. This is a good thing because the rewards you receive - learning how to use your wheel, how to change and adjust settings, how to put things together- make you a better spinner overall. And it’s fairly affordable:)!"

Patricia G. (5/5)

Much better than hooks!

"This was a worthwhile upgrade to my traditional. I find it much easier and less problematic than the stock flyer with the hooks."

Lisa D. (5/5)

Just what I needed!

"It’s exactly what I needed for plying and spinning bulky! As always, my order was processed and delivered quickly!"

Richard L. (5/5)

The flyer arrived in good

"The flyer arrived in good condition and in good time. Customer service every time I have order or needed help has been wonderful. The different ladies I have talked to know their product and have been very helpful. Thanks for the great service and product."

Deb M. (5/5)

Jumbo flyer

"Nicely finished and easy to add to my old spinning wheel"

Denise W. (5/5)

Wrosk great

"I purchased this because I always had an awkward amount of yarn left when plying on a smaller bobbin+flyer arrangement, and it did not disappoint. Once I had the tension calculated properly, this moved smoothly and easily, and every component was perfectly weighted for the speed and tension it moves at."

Helen T. (5/5)

Hecking love this flyer!

"This came in so incredibly handy for plying in large quantities! Can’t wait to try my hand at some bulky art yarn!"

Erin K. (5/5)

AMAZING!!!

"It took me a bit to get a hang of using the Sliding hook Flyer just because I am used to the more traditional hook styled flyers (my 5 year spinning hiatus may not have helped either). But it is now an absolute pleasure to spin with. The Jumbo Bobbin is the perfect size for making 2-3 ply yarn out of what I have spun on my traditional bobbins depending on the yarn weight I am going for."
