I didn't know I needed a new drive band until I installed this kit. I treadle easier now and have more control of the direction for the S and Z twists, meaning, I don't use my hand anymore to jump start the flyer. I love how it looks too, makes the wheel look clean, neat and tall. I love how I can have more bobbins with WIPs resting their twists while I keep working on other yarns - it makes spinning even more peaceful. I'm glad I finally made the jump.
my overall experience is great with the kiwi flyer. I don't like that it doesn't come with oil. Thats an essential part of the whole process. Either this or the wheel should have came with it.
The ease of changing to the Super Flyer couldn’t be better! Within the first week I’d already tried 4 different yarns just because I couldn’t get enough. :D
This is a great addition to my Kiwi wheel! I am spinning very thick yarn for rug making and this super-size bobbin does the trick!
The Kiwi Super Flyer is fantastic. It makes specialty yarn making so much easier than when I was using the standard size flyer. So fun .
The Kiwi Super Flyer kit comes with 3 super-size 500 gm bobbins and is super easy to install on any Kiwi. The kit includes everything from the maiden bar up, so you only need to undo one bolt when you want to swap.The Kiwi Super Flyer has a huge 27mm (1⅛in) orifice and has awesome new free-flow yarn guides on a sliding hook flyer.
