Draw Mechanisms, Part 2
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
Second part of a series on spinning wheel draw mechanisms from the column 'As the Wheel Turns.' It explains scotch tension (driven flyer, as on the Ashford wheel) and indian head tension (driven bobbin, used on bulk spinners), and contrasts both with the double-banded draw. A short question-and-answer section by Glaski lists the advantages of driven bobbin wheels, including strong draw, very low twist yarns, fewer critical parts and easier tension adjustment.
