Flyer in Action


Here's a bit of video showing the flyer in action. Pauses are where I had to work the silk a bit, from bits of cradle that didn't stretch as much as I'd have liked, and the occasional bug bit that wormed it's way into the fiber. The clickity-clacking is from the bobbin whorl being taped on + the drive belt having 2 knots(still trying to get the size just right).


After reviewing the video, I've decided it's from the flyer not being permanently glued in place firmly. It's okay, will be just fine when perfectly complete, but it's completed to working/prototype, and that's groovy with me :).

  • by any chance are you going to post the blueprints/plans for this wheel so other budget-challenged spinners can try to make one too? it would be much appreciated... :)

  • :) she broke though. She wouldn't have if I could have gotten her crank to work, but she fell of the bed and went boom. Actually crank was fine till she started to fall, I grabbed whatever I could, which was her crank, and well, the rest is herstory.
