Bobbins And Whorls
For
our spinning wheels we offer
a wide spectrum of whorls to aid the handspinner in achieving the best spinning speed for
the task at hand. A high speed bobbin is required for high speed
and super high speed whorls when spinning in double drive. (High speed bobbins are
not required for Scotch tension mode.)
What Whorl Do I Choose?
It depends...on your
treadling rate, the fiber you're spinning, and the type of yarn you want. There are
no hard and fast rules about whorls. What is important is that you choose a whorl
that helps your wheel do as much of the work for you as possible.
In general: the
bigger the whorl, the coarser the fiber, the thicker the yarn; the smaller the whorl, the
finer the fiber, the smaller the yarn.
