Flyer-led or Scotch tension, whatever you choose to call it, this issue is all about that wonderful, versatile, infinitely adjustable spinning wheel! If you have one, want one, or just love spinning, this issue has tons to teach!

  • Have you ever wondered how to set up or adjust your wheel for the exact yarn you want regardless of grist or twist amount? This issue will help!
  • Does your brake band or drive band material matter and if so, what’s the best?
  • Are flyer-led wheels good for some fibers and not others? We’ve tested it and we’ll share what we’ve found.

Learn the basics of the flyer-led system and then delve deeper into ergonomics, single treadle or double, different fibers, different diameters, and some great spinning experiments.
