Kromski Prelude High-Speed Flyer | Faster Spinning Upgrade

The Speed You Need for Delicates

In 2026, as the demand for handspun lace and “cobweb” yarns grows, the standard flyer can sometimes feel sluggish. The Faster Flyer changes the game. By reducing the overall mass of the flyer arms and narrowing the orifice, Kromski has created a component that thrives at high speeds. It is designed to be paired with Kromski’s Fast or Extra Fast whorls, allowing you to reach ratios that make spinning short-staple fibers like Cotton or Yak feel effortless.

Ergonomic Velocity

The true beauty of the Faster Flyer is the physical relief it provides the spinner. Without a high-speed setup, spinning fine yarn requires “bicycle-pedaling” your feet to get enough twist. With the Faster Flyer, you can keep a slow, rhythmic treadling pace while the flyer spins at high velocity. This prevents leg fatigue and allows you to focus your attention entirely on the delicate drafting of your fiber.

Precision Sliding Hooks

Even at high speeds, yarn management is critical. This flyer features Kromski’s signature sliding hook system. Because you are spinning thinner yarn, you’ll be making more passes across the bobbin; these hooks allow you to nudge the yarn position by a fraction of a millimeter, ensuring a perfectly level “put-up” that prevents tangling during the plying process.
