What Whorl Should I Use?

Our Extra Slow Speed and Slow Speed Whorls are excellent for thick, low-twist yarns, and useful for novelty yarns. A longer drive cord may be needed when the slowest whorls are used.

Our Medium Speed Whorl (included with Ladybug and Matchless wheels) is good for medium diameter wool fibers, flax, and some silks. It is good for plying.

The Fast Speed Whorl (included with Ladybug and Matchless wheels) can be used with fine, short staple wools, angora, line flax, silk and cotton.

Our High Speed and Super High Speed whorls are excellent for all finer fibers, especially when a fine, high-twist yarn is desired. A High Speed Bobbin should be used with these whorls.

The Extra Slow Speed and Super High Speed Whorls are not recommended for use with the Ladybug Spinning Wheel.
