Jumbo flyer question
Hi everyone!

I have an Ashford Traditional wheel, last used with the jumbo flyer attachment for plying some gorgeous dark maroon alpaca yarn. Oh is it luscious!

Anyway, now I would like to get back spinning something new, but to put the regular flyer back on, I have to remove screws and replace the flyer attachment, replace the screws... seems that doing this repeatedly would strip the screw holes.

Is there any reason I can't use the jumbo flyer with the regular size bobbin for spinningmy singles, then putting the jumbo bobbins on for plying?

I guess I can give it a try to see what happens!

Thanks in advance,
Heather
