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 comes with a natural finish and includes one bobbin.

"I had debated getting a jumbo flyer for a while because the standard bobbins for the ashford traditional don’t hold a 4oz braid of fiber comfortably. I found this one, which holds way more than the standard bobbins, but I can also still use my regular bobbins on it so I’m not having to switch out flyers. It’s the best of both worlds! I love how much easier it is to fill the bobbins evenly too. I do wish the sliding was a bit smoother, but overall it’s easy to use."
"Works great. Easy to use. Fun times"
"Fantastic product that allows me to evenly spin yarn onto bobbin. The staff at Woolery provides excellent service."
"I’ve only used it so far for one bobbin full of yarn, but it works great. It makes filling the bobbin smoother and makes any gaps I’ve created easier to fill. The bobbin that came with it also held a lot more than my traditional bobbins that came with my wheel."
"I like how I can manage the yarn build up on the bobbins with this kind of flyer - it’s easier to keep it even. It’s a little stiff to slide, maybe it will get easier or maybe I’ll try oil?"
"The spring is difficult to pinch, and the slide bar is of uneven width which makes it difficult to slide the hook back and forth. I wouldn't recommend this for folks with arthritis in their hands, either."
"It was easy to set this up, just pop it into place, and now I am able to spin much faster and fill larger bobbins, for overall more efficient production. And, it still will hold my standard bobbins. Worth it."
"I am really happy with my recent purchase from the Woolery -- an Ashford Sliding Hook Flyer. I have used my standard flyer for on my Traveller for years with no complaints, but now that I have the Sliding Hook Flyer, I am loving spinning even more. It is so easy to use and much easier to fill the bobbin evenly. I especially like having the bigger bobbins! The Woolery provided excellent service and communication to me throughout the process, too. Thank you."
