644.96 د.إ
Experience the most consistent take-up possible with the Ashford Double Drive Sliding Hook Flyer. Designed for the Traditional, Traveller, and Elizabeth wheels, this kit replaces fixed hooks with a frictionless squeeze-and-slide system, allowing you to fill your bobbin with surgical precision. Complete with a 90mm large-capacity bobbin, this flyer ensures a constant ratio and a perfectly balanced spin, making it the premier choice for fine wools and professional plying.
The Double Drive Advantage
In 2026, the Double Drive system is favored by technical spinners because the flyer and bobbin are both mechanically driven. This ensures that the ratio between them stays constant regardless of how much yarn is on the bobbin. When you add the Sliding Hook to this system, you achieve a level of consistency that is impossible with fixed hooks. You can move the yarn guide by just a fraction of a millimeter, preventing the “coning” of yarn and ensuring your tension never fluctuates.
Precision Engineering for Fine Yarns
The sliding hooks are made from high-grade stainless steel with a circular loop that allows the yarn to pass through with zero drag. This is particularly vital for fine lace or silk spinning, where any snag can cause a break. Because you don’t have to stop and unhook your yarn to move to a new position, you can maintain a “meditative flow,” keeping your drafting rhythm consistent from the start of the bobbin to the very end.
Increased Capacity and Efficiency
The kit includes one 90mm Double Drive Bobbin. This bobbin features a larger flange than standard models, allowing you to hold up to 130g (4.5oz) of fiber. For the plying stage, this extra capacity is a game-changer, allowing for fewer joins in your finished skein. The flyer is finished in Natural New Zealand Silver Beech, designed to match the timeless aesthetic of Ashford’s flagship wheels.
