Ratios (Flyer Ratios)Updated 6 months ago

The flyer ratio on your spinning wheel determines how much twist is added to your fiber with each treadle. Higher ratios are great for finer yarns that need more twist, while lower ratios are better for thick, bulky yarns that require less twist.

Tip: Mastering different ratios can help you spin a wide variety of yarns. Experiment with adjusting the ratio as you switch between different fibers or yarn types.
