Guide a starter yarn through the orifice, around the hook and through the
yarn guide slide. It does not matter which side of the flyer you use. Make a
knot at the very end of the yarn and insert it into the slot of the bobbin core.
Move the yarn guide to a location where it will pull the yarn in a direction the
slot will hold the knot.
By applying brake tension on the bobbin, you can control the tension on the
yarn. The flyer turns because it is connected to the pulley, which causes the
twist in the yarn. Since the yarn connects the bobbin to the flyer, the bobbin
will turn. The result is that you feel a pull on the yarn, and by tightening the
brake, you will increase this pull. When the bobbin fills up, it will pull with a
higher torque on the brake. If you want to keep the same amount of pull on
the yarn, you will need to increase the brake tension. This also means that
you will need more power to treadle as the bobbin fills up.
Tips and troubleshooting
To evenly build up the yarn on the bobbin, you can move the yarn guide
slide as shown on the pictures below.
Away from yourself:
Make a loop at the other end of the
starter yarn. Thread through some
fibers from the fleece, batt or
roving that you will spin and twist
them together, to make the
connection with your starter yarn.
The orifice has a removable nylon
bushing inserted that gives you the
choice between an 8 mm (5/16") or
12 mm (1/2") orifice. The smaller
diameter orifice is beneficial while
spinning finer yarns.
