Details
Double-check before you order. This bobbin fits only the Kiwi Super Flyer Kit, a super jumbo flyer you add to a Kiwi 1, 2 or 3. The flyer a Kiwi 2 or Kiwi 3 comes with takes the Sliding Hook Flyer Bobbin, and a Kiwi 1's original flyer takes the Standard Bobbin. If you need a different bobbin, compare them all in our Ashford bobbin collection.

Finishing
Both spin the same. Lacquered arrives sealed, and natural is bare wood for you to wax or seal, which protects it from lanolin and marks over the years. On a natural bobbin, sand the core lightly, leave the ends unsanded, and keep any lacquer very thin inside the grooves, or leave it off there, so the band grips.
