Details
The Ashford Joy Sliding Hook Flyer Kit (SHFJOY) gives a Joy 1 a sliding hook flyer in place of its 12 screw-in hooks, so you slide the hook along and the bobbin fills evenly. The Joy 2 ships with this type of flyer, so there it's a spare.
| Fits | Joy 1 and Joy 2, single or double treadle |
| Takes | Sliding Hook Flyer Bobbin, single drive (SHFB or SHFBL) |
| Ratios | 6, 8, 11 and 14:1 |
| Orifice | 3/8 in |
| Bobbin capacity | 130g/4.6oz, about one braid |
| In the box | The flyer, one Sliding Hook Flyer Bobbin, a nylon brake band, tension springs and a replacement top shaft |
| Finish | Factory lacquered |
| Made of | Beech hardwood and veneered MDF |
Cut the brake band to length and screw the flyer onto the top shaft. If it won't thread on fully, your Joy was made before 2002, so fit the new top shaft first. For art yarn and bulky spinning, the Joy Freedom Flyer takes Jumbo Bobbins instead.
