Threading the Flyer
Tie a piece of yarn onto your bobbin disk as shown below so it can’t
slip. You will use this yarn as a leader for your roving. Thread this
lead yarn through the hooks on the flyer arms. Then use the orifice
hook to pull the leader out to the front of the wheel. Attach your
spinning fiber to the lead yarn and you are ready to spin.
Adjusting the Flyer Hooks
When you have spun enough yarn to form a bump on the bobbin, it
is time to slide the flyer hooks. Stop the EEW from spinning by using
the speed control or USB switch. Once the flyer has stopped
moving, adjust the sliding hook to a new position so the bobbin fills
evenly. You don’t need to move the front sliding hook. If the flyer
vibrates at higher speeds, position the back flyer hooks evenly so
the flyer is balanced (see the FAQ for more details).
