Jumbo Single Flyer by Ashford

The Ashford Basic Jumbo Flyer Unit is designed to fit both the Ashford Traditional and Traveller Single Drive Wheels, making it a versatile option for spinners. This unit is particularly well-suited for spinning bulky yarns, plying thick yarns, or spinning large quantities of yarn. The kit includes a Jumbo single drive 4-speed flyer, a Jumbo single drive bobbin, a front Jumbo flyer bearing, a bearing reducer bushing, an orifice reducer bushing, a drive band, a brake band, 2 springs, a threading hook, and comprehensive instructions.

The key feature of this unit is the need to replace the original front bearing with the Jumbo front bearing included in the kit. The Jumbo bearing has an inside diameter of 3/4" (19mm), and the bearing reducer bushing allows the use of the original standard flyer. The orifice reducer bushing, with a 3/8" (10mm) ID, enables finer spinning.

The Jumbo flyer offers four different ratios: 4.5, 7.5, 9.5, and 13.5 to 1, providing a range of options for spinners. Both the flyer and bobbin are unvarnished, maintaining a natural and rustic appearance.

Switching between flyers is a quick and easy process, thanks to the bearing reducer bushing. The flyer orifice measures 5/8" (15mm) ID, and the bobbin capacity is 8 oz (225g), making it suitable for a variety of spinning projects.

The Ashford Basic Jumbo Flyer Unit comes with a comprehensive package, including the Jumbo 4-speed single drive flyer, the Jumbo bobbin, the orifice reducing bushing, the Jumbo bearing reducing bushing, 12 Jumbo hooks, a threading hook, a drive band, a brake band, 2 tension springs, and detailed instructions. This product is unvarnished, allowing spinners to maintain the natural aesthetic of their spinning wheels.

Overall, the Ashford Basic Jumbo Flyer Unit is an excellent addition to the Ashford Traditional and Traveller Single Drive Wheels, providing spinners with the necessary tools to tackle a wide range of spinning projects, from bulky yarns to fine, delicate threads.
