Plying from the Bullfrog Lazy Kate

Pinterest (9).jpg

The Spinolution Bullfrog has a wonderful list of built in features including a built-in lazy kate. The lazy kate is located on the top of the spinning wheel.  First you will take the three metal pegs from the slot on the side of the wheel 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. The built in lazy kate as well as the option to switch between 8 oz and 16 oz bobbins as well as folding capabilities makes the SpinOlution Bullfrog a versatile and powerful wheel.  


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.
