Ashford 90mm Double Drive Bobbin | Sliding Hook Flyer Compatible
د.إ87.32
Maximize your plying potential with the Ashford 90mm Sliding Hook Flyer Bobbin. Specifically engineered for Double Drive wheels equipped with a Sliding Hook Flyer, this bobbin features an expanded width and a specialized grooved whorl. Crafted from Natural New Zealand Silver Beech, its massive 130g (4.5oz) capacity and snag-free surface make it the ultimate tool for long-yardage lace, consistent garment-weight yarns, and professional-grade plying.
The Power of the 90mm Flange
In 2026, serious makers are looking for ways to reduce joins in their finished work. This bobbin provides the answer. While standard bobbins are versatile, the 90mm (3.5″) width of this model is designed to sit perfectly within the larger frame of the Sliding Hook Flyer. This extra space translates to roughly 30% more capacity than a standard bobbin, allowing you to spin larger skeins of consistent, high-twist yarn without interruption.
Double Drive Synchronicity
The Double Drive system is beloved for its mechanical “memory.” Because the drive band powers both the flyer and the grooved whorl on this bobbin flange simultaneously, the take-up is incredibly predictable. When paired with sliding hooks, you can guide the yarn to fill the bobbin in perfectly flat layers. This eliminates the “hills and valleys” that cause tension spikes, making your plying sessions smoother and more rhythmic.
Raw Materials for Refined Yarn
Supplied in Natural (Unfinished) Silver Beech, this bobbin is a blank canvas. The wood is precision-machined and sanded to a glass-smooth finish to ensure that even delicate fibers like silk or superfine merino never snag. Being unfinished, it allows you to apply a custom wax or oil to match the specific patina of your Ashford Traditional or Traveller wheel.
