You can extend the range of your Kromski Interlude with the addition of the Jumbo Flyer Kit and the Faster Flyer. See our video about these flyers.
Set up your Interlude with the Jumbo flyer and you add lower end speeds, much larger orifice and the extra large bobbin capacity. Kit includes jumbo flyer, one jumbo bobbin and front jumbo maiden. For many spinners the ratio range of the Jumbo can be your every day range, so the Jumbo may be on your Interlude all the time.

The Faster Flyer for the Interlude increases the ratio speeds to cover most spinning requirements for finer yarn and fibers that need more twist. Use your regular bobbins with the Faster Flyer.
