Two-flyer wheel


Photo From: RuthMacGregor - Album: Spinning and Weaving

Description: This is my new/old wheel. It has two spinning heads and was designed for use by one person: with the distaff in the center, the spinner drafts with both hands, one hand for each flyer-and-bobbin head. The idea is to produce more yarn in any given spinning session. From what I can tell, it doesn't actually double the output; but it does increase it to about 150% of normal.
