Expand your wheel’s capabilities with the Ashford Basic Jumbo Flyer. Specifically engineered for Single Drive (Scotch Tension) versions of the Traditional and Traveller, this kit features a wide 15mm (⅝”) orifice and extra-large flyer arms. Finished in Natural New Zealand Silver Beech, it includes a specialized Jumbo Bobbin, allowing you to spin thick, textured yarns and ply massive quantities of fiber with ease.
Room to Breathe: The 15mm Advantage
In 2026, handspinning is as much about texture as it is about thread. If you’ve ever tried to pull a thick-and-thin art yarn through a standard 10mm orifice, you know the frustration of “the snag.” The Basic Jumbo Flyer solves this with a generous 15mm (⅝”) opening, allowing slubs, coils, and super-bulky singles to pass through effortlessly.
Increased Volume for Big Projects
This kit isn’t just about the orifice; it’s about storage. The included Jumbo Bobbin offers nearly double the capacity of a standard bobbin (holding approximately 100g/4oz). This is a game-changer for plying; you can now fit two full standard bobbins of singles onto one single jumbo bobbin, resulting in fewer joins and a more professional finished skein for your larger knitting or weaving projects.
The “Basic” Reliability
Unlike the Sliding Hook versions, the “Basic” flyer uses the traditional fixed-hook system. Many spinners prefer this for its simplicity and the tactile feedback of manually moving the yarn from hook to hook. Crafted from Natural Silver Beech, this flyer is ready to be finished with wax or left in its organic state to match your wheel’s personality.
