SpinOution is the leader in efficient flyer design.

SpinOlution flyer pegs do not catch on yarn and our by-passable hook orifice does not limit creativity. Our whorls are printed in the USA. The ounces used to determine each flyer size are based on medium weight worsted wool capacity.

Which flyer size is best suited for you?

  • 4 ounce flyer - popular for spinning fine to light worsted weight yarns. Many antique and traditional wheels have bobbins about the same size as our 4 ounce bobbin. The 4 ounce flyer is standard on the Queen Bee, Pollywog, and an option for the Echo.

  • 4A ounce flyer - same size as the 4 ounce flyer with a built-in accelerator (an additional whorl) for extra high speeds for spinning extra fine cobweb yarns and short staple fibers. The 4A flyer design is an option for the Firefly, Monarch, and Echo.

  • 8 ounce flyer - comparable to the standard or classic size of popular modern brands of spinning wheels on the market today. Our customers find the 8 oz a perfect size for spinning and plying all weights of yarn for knitting and crochet. The 8 ounce flyer is standard on the King Bee, and an option on the Firefly, Monarch, Echo, and Hopper.

  • 12 ounce flyer - engineered for customers who purchase a Pollywog and want a larger flyer and bobbin size. This flyer does not fit on any wheels other than the Pollywog.

  • 16 ounce flyer - popular for spinners wanting to spin medium weight to bulky yarns and are considering a wheel that is both portable and can spin art yarns. The 16 ounce flyer is standard on the Worker Bee and Bullfrog and an option for the Echo, Hopper, Monarch, and Firefly.

  • 32 ounce flyer - for production art and bulky yarn spinners with spacious bobbin capacity for big projects, and big textures. Although this flyer size can spin light worsted weight yarn, the momentum might be too heavy for spinners to use it as a primary size for lightweight yarns. The 32 ounce flyer is an option for the Echo, Hopper, Monarch, and Firefly.

  • 64 ounce flyer - exclusive to SpinOlution, and is the largest bobbin capacity in the industry. Expert production spinners find this size ideal for spinning single-ply bulky weight yarns. Each one is crafted and balanced by hand. The 64 ounce flyer and bobbin is an option for the Monarch and Firefly.
