OrificeUpdated 6 months ago

The orifice is a small opening on the flyer through which your spun yarn passes. It’s kind of like the "eye of the needle" for your spinning wheel. The size of the orifice can vary depending on the wheel, with larger ones being better for bulky yarns.

Pro Tip: Use an orifice hook to easily thread your yarn through if you’re working with thicker fibers or if the orifice is narrow.
