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 foot switch, speed control, or twist switch. Once the flyer has

stopped moving, adjust the back 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).
