Plying from the Pollywog Lazy Kate

Pinterest (10).jpg

The Spinolution Pollywog comes with a built in lazy kate which is a great money and space saving feature.  The lazy kate is located on the top of the spinning wheel. First you will take the three metal pegs from the slot in the top where they are stored and then place them in the holes across the top of the wheel.  You can now use these pegs to place your bobbins when they are not in use or to ply from when you are done spinning your singles.  

Tips for plying from the top

  • Place Bobbins with the plastic white ring pointing down for better spinning 

  • Place the bobbins with the two singles on the left two rods bringing the yarn behind the right peg

  • Keep singles pulled out to the right while plying to avoid the drive band and flyer pegs. 

  • Keep a smooth treading speed and motion. 

  • These tips are great for all of our SpinOlution Wheels that have a tip lazy kate.
