Loosen the front maiden knob just enough
to allow the front maiden to move. Slide the
front maiden as far forward as possible on
the mother-of-all (MOA).
10. Insert the yer orice into the front
bearing, moving the front maiden back as
needed. Leave a small gap, about 1/16",
between the front bearing and the shoulder
of the yer shaft (Figures 4 and 6B).
11. Insert the yer shaft through the
Scotch tension brake (for Scotch tension
and bobbin lead only) and into the rear
bearing.
12. Set up the wheel for your desired
tension mode: see below, “Spinning with
Scotch Tension or Bobbin Lead Modes”
and “Spinning in Double Drive Mode.”
CHANGING BOBBINS
13. Place the poly or cotton drive band on
top of the rear leg, as shown in Figure 6A.
14. Loosen the front maiden knob just
enough to allow the front maiden to move.
Slide the front maiden and the yer as far
forward as possible on the mother-of-all
(MOA).
15. Remove the yer orice from the
front bearing. Remove the yer shaft from
the rear bearing. If necessary, remove
the Scotch tension brake band from the
bobbin.
16. Remove the whorl and bobbin from the
yer shaft. Place a new bobbin and your
desired whorl on the yer shaft. Re-install
the yer (described above) and set up for
your desired tension mode.
SPINNING WITH SCOTCH TENSION
OR BOBBIN LEAD MODES
In Scotch tension, the brake band goes
around the large end of the bobbin and the
drive band goes around the whorl.
In bobbin lead spinning (also called Irish
tension), the drive band goes around the
large end of the bobbin and the brake band
goes around the whorl.
In both modes, turn the Scotch tension peg
to take up the slack in the cord, allowing
the cord to wind around its shaft. If the
