Alden's Fliers

There was a question about Alden's Fliers that I seem to have lost.

The flier sets I got from Alden had whorls with a DRS of  1.2 - which is about right for 1,600 ypp singles,  but the effective diameter of the bobbin changes quickly. And, I wanted to spin finer singles.

Anyway, talk to Alden, and if possible get Alden to make your whorls.  Mine work, his are beautiful. Ashford whorls will be the wrong DRS.

Happy Solstice! I always enjoy your posts, even when I quibble.

Hi Asaron,

I think that was my question. I'm not ready for custom whorls quite yet - still learning how to spin consistently on stock high-speed DD Ashford kit - but am wondering if it makes sense to get a faster flier.

I'll contact Alden.

happy fine spinning!
