Kromski Minstrel Super Jumbo Flyer Kit – Ultra High Capacity – Ratios 3.5:1 & 4.8:1
The Super Jumbo Flyer Kit for the Kromski Minstrel spinning wheel is the highest-capacity configuration available for this model. Designed for spinners who want to maximize yarn production, this system uses Super Jumbo bobbins ideal for spinning large quantities of yarn, bulky fibers and high-volume art yarn without frequent interruptions.
This complete configuration transforms the Minstrel into a high-capacity production wheel while maintaining balance, stability and smooth rotation.
Shipped from Canada — no customs or import duties for Canadian customers.
Detailed Description
A flyer is the rotating component of a spinning wheel that inserts twist into fiber while winding yarn onto the bobbin.
The Super Jumbo configuration significantly increases winding capacity and reduces the need for frequent bobbin changes.
With drive ratios of 3.5:1 and 4.8:1, this system offers:
– very slow twist insertion
– exceptional control for bulky fibers
– stable drafting for very thick yarn
– comfortable treadling rhythm
Lower ratios insert twist more gradually. This makes them ideal for:
– thick and textured yarn
– art yarn spinning
– highly bulky fiber preparations
– controlled drafting at high volume
The included dedicated lazy kate allows efficient plying of large quantities without transferring yarn to separate equipment.
Compatibility
• Compatible exclusively with the Kromski Minstrel spinning wheel
• Designed specifically for the Super Jumbo configuration
• Not compatible with standard Minstrel flyers
