FIREFLY

Introducing the SpinOlution Firefly Electric Spinning Wheel, designed to elevate your spinning experience with ease and efficiency. Unlike other electric wheels the Firefly has a rechargeable battery that holds over 14 hours of spin time for cordless spinning. This innovative wheel combines modern technology with the timeless art of spinning, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced spinners alike.

The Firefly features a highly portable design, allowing you to spin anywhere you desire. Its lightweight construction and compact size make it easy to transport to workshops or gatherings, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to create. Additionally, the built-in electric motor enables you to spin at the perfect speed without the physical effort required by traditional wheels, freeing you to focus entirely on your craft.

Equipped with an adjustable tension system, the Firefly allows you to fine tune your uptake to suit your fibers and techniques. Its intuitive design makes it user-friendly, catering to spinners of all skill levels. Many beginners love learning how to spin on a Firefly. The wheel also boasts a quiet motor, providing a serene environment as you immerse yourself in your spinning projects.

Durability is a hallmark of the Firefly, constructed from high-quality Baltic birch wood that ensures longevity. With easy maintenance and a reputation for reliability, it’s a valuable investment for any fiber artist. The Firefly is the most versatile electric spinning wheel made in the USA with 5 flyer sizes to choose from, including the largest and the fastest electric wheel flyers in the world.

The Firefly flyer sizes are interchangeable. Swap flyers between the Firefly, Echo, and Monarch. Park the Monarch in your studio for production spinning at home, and use the same flyer on your Firefly to bring your current spinning project to a sheep and wool festival. With the Firefly, your production spinning studio can go everywhere you can!

Whether you're processing wool, blending fibers, or creating intricate yarns, the Firefly is your partner in crafting beautiful textiles. Elevate your spinning; add the Firefly to your collection today.

FIREFLY RATIOS

Electric wheels like the Firefly do not have ratios, because they have a variable speed knob that you adjust to the speed you need to spin your fiber of choice. The SpinOlution Firefly is the fastest electric wheel on the market to date with a top RPM of 3200 when the 4A flyer is plugged into the wall (top speeds are slightly slower when running from the battery).
