Assembly Instructions for the Lazy Kate Super Jumbo
Tighten

3
1. Tie a piece of medium weight yarn approx.
1.5 metres (5 feet) long, called a leader to the
bobbin on the e-Spinner Super Jumbo.
2. Thread the leader through the flyer yarn guide
with the black insert and out through the orifice.
Locate 2 bobbins of spun yarn onto the Lazy Kate
Super Jumbo rods and tie the 2 strands of yarn to
the leader.
3. Adjust the tilt of the base rail so the yarn feeds
easily off the bobbins.
5. Allow the leader and your spun yarn to start
feeding in. Use the least amount of leather brake
band tension possible.
6. To fill the bobbin evenly, squeeze and slide
the yarn guides along the flyer arms.
For further plying information refer to “The
Ashford Book of Hand Spinning” by Jo Reeve, a
116-page book full of ideas and inspirations for
spinners.
Plying
4. Check the SPIN/PLY switch is on PLY (up) and

Padded Carry Bag

Orifice Reducer Bushes
- Use the large Reducer Bush to reduce the orifice
from 27mm (1⅛”) to 15mm (⅝”) for plying
medium yarns.
- Use the small Orifice Reducer Bush to reduce the
orifice to 9mm (⅜”) for plying fine yarns.
- Orifice Reduce Bushes help prevent the yarn
vibrating. By drafting the yarn at about a
45-degree angle to the orifice the vibration will
almost be eliminated.
- When not in use store the reducer bushes in the
holes in the top of the base.
