Bobbins: The Schacht-Reeves flyer shaft is 5/16'' in diameter
versus the original Reeves 1/4'' diameter. This means that the current
Schacht bobbins can't be used on prior Reeves-made wheels. Replacement
wooden bobbins for older Reeves spinning wheels can be ordered from Hill
Creek Fiber Studio, (800) 874-9328.
