This flyer is for spinning ultra fine yarn with a high twist count ideal for creating lace-weight yarn. It is also for short fibres such as cotton and silk that need a high twist. Using the higher drive ratios the spinner can treadle and draft at the normal speed and still achieve the necessary high twist. The flyers are individually balanced in the factory and feature ball bearings. The small 7mm(5/16in) orifice guides the yarn and the large core bobbins ensure a gentle take-up.
