Inside the box you will find the following parts:
- back post;
- front post;
- foot rail with treadle;
- main wheel;
- cardboard roll with 3 bobbins;
- box with parts.
The box contains:
- flyer;
- sandpaper;
- two round bars, for connecting
both posts together;
- footman complete;
- hardware bag.
The hardware bag contains:
- bag with wheel axle with
mounting plate, 3 screws
4.5x20 mm, spring and 2
retaining rings (1 spare);
- bag with Allen key 4 mm and
footman bolt assembly (socket
head bolt, ball bearing, spring
washer and washer);
- bag with 14 screw hooks (2
spare);
- drive band;
- threaded insert M6;
- 1 screw 5x50 mm;
- 1 screw 3x20 mm;
- 3 screws 5x55 mm;
- 4 wooden dowels;
- 2 stainless steel axles for the
lazy kate;
- screw driver (pz2)
Use the sand paper to smooth the edges of the wooden parts.
The wood of this spinning wheel has no protecting finish. We advise you to
lacquer, stain or wax the wooden parts before assembling them.

Assembly
Screw 12 hooks into the flyer,
using the pilot holes. The hooks
need to be completely screwed
into the flyer, up to where the
bend starts.
Use a hammer to tap the shafts
into the holes of the round bar
(lazy kate). When the sound
changes you are at the bottom of
the hole.
Tap the four wooden dowels into
the holes at the bottom of the front
post.
3
Insert the footman with its flexible
piece into the hole of the treadle
and adjust the direction of the
eccentric cup facing away from
the treadle. Put your finger
underneath the treadle to be sure
that the end of the flexible piece is
flush with the bottom of the
treadle, while you fasten the
connection with the screw 3 x 20
mm.
Press the dowels of the front post
into the holes of the foot rail as far
as you can do it by hand. The
connection will be joined when
you screw the frame together.
Take the shortest of the four large
screws and screw the front post
onto the end of the second round
bar.
Use one of the larger screws to
fasten the front of the frame onto
the round bar with the lazy kate
shafts. The side where the shaft is
closest to the end should be at the
front of the wheel. By screwing it
firmly tight, foot rail and post will
be clamped together.
4
Mount the back post onto the assembly with the remaining two large
screws. Add the drive band to the assembly before you connect the back
post with the last screw.
Tap the threaded insert into the 8
mm hole at the side of the wheel
where the holes for attaching the
axle are. It is deep enough when
the head of the nut is close to the
surface of the wheel; later on
when you fasten the eccentric
bearing on the front side of the
wheel, the nut will be pulled into
the hole completely.
Use the 3 screws 4.5 x 20 mm to
mount the axle onto the wheel.
5
Place the spring onto the axle.
Mount on the main wheel to the
back post:
- Insert the axle trough the ball
bearings of the post.
- Now push the wheel and post
towards each other, so the
spring is pressed together and
the end of the axle protrude far
enough to make it easy to push
one of the retaining rings into
the groove of the axle.
This retainer has a small
protruding edge for your nail to
pull it out again; naturally this
edge should face outside.
The parts of the “footman bolt
assembly” are already assembled
in correct order onto the socket
head bolt: first the ball bearing,
then the spring ring and at last the
bigger washer. Screw this
assembly into the hole in the
wheel. Use the Allen key to
tighten.
6
Place the drive band behind the
footman and snap the nylon cup
over the ball bearing on the wheel.
It is easy if you hold the footman
in an angle while you push it on
(this also helps when you take it
off).
Secure the connection by pushing
the ring towards the edge of the
cup.
The slanting position of the lazy kate can be adjusted after you unscrew the
screws slightly at the base. Be sure to fasten the screws again.

Spinning instructions
Practice treadling, e.g. while reading a book, until your feet work
automatically.
Spinning: Plying:
Spinning:
Twisting the wool fibres to make a
single yarn.
Plying:
Joining 2 or more yarns together.
3 speed bobbin for
1. Thick / slow spinning
2. Medium / regular spinning
3. thin / fast spinning / plying
Make a knot in the start yarn and
lock it into the slot of the bobbin
shaft. Twist with your fingers a rough
yarn out of the wool and knot it to
that start yarn.
Spinning
Take the wool loose in your left hand. Pull a bit of wool out of your left hand
with the fingers of your right hand in the direction of the orifice, so far as the
fibre volume of the yarn requires. Then while treadling slowly and still
gripping the yarn move your right hand back towards your left and allow the
twist to develop. Then you can let it go through the orifice and it will be
wound up on the bobbin. Always keep thumb and finger closed when sliding
over the fibres. Adapt the speed of foot and hand working to get a good twist
of the thread.
Too little twist;
Brake strap on the flyer to
regulate the strength with
which the yarn is pulled in.
Too much twist;
Correct twist.
Fill the bobbin evenly by changing
the yarn from one hook to another.

Plying
It is easy to ply two threads to one thicker yarn if you place two full bobbins
on the special bobbin holders. Take care that the threads lie parallel in your
hands before plying.
What can go wrong?
The yarn is too hard and overtwisted. Possible causes:
1. You are treadling too fast, compared with the speed of your hands.
2. The yarn pulls in too slowly. You must brake the flyer a bit more. Or
maybe the yarn is obstructed by a piece of straw.
3. The yarn is caught on one of the yarn guiders.
4. The bobbin is full.
The yarn breaks constantly. Possible causes:
1. Too little twist, the yarn is not strong enough for winding up.
2. The yarn pulls in too hard. The tension is too great .Reduce tension with
the knurled nut.
3. Wool of bad quality (too short fibre).
Treadling is very heavy. Possible causes:
1. More brake on the flyer than you need.
2. The yarn is obstructed by one of the yarn guiders on the flyer.
3. The bobbin is full.
The fibres are very difficult to draw out of the wool supply.
Possible causes:
1. You are holding the wool supply too tightly.
2. The twisting got in your wool supply. Take care that the twist does not
come behind your right hand. Keep thumb and finger closed.
3. Wool of bad quality (felted, needs combing)
I am not spinning for a while. How can I best store my wheel?
During periods when you are not spinning, we recommend that you take the
drive band out of the bobbin groove and position it on the flyer bearing (for
Irish tension wheels) or take the drive band out of the pulley groove and
position it in front of the pulley on the axle (for Scotch tension wheels).
Maintenance
Use a drop of oil to grease the plastic bearings. Lubrication of the ball
bearings is not needed.
