Autowind Flyer for Kromski Magnetic Flyer System
"Tested and Approved by Dona Carruth, recently retired marketing manager from Kromski North America"
Compatible with Fantasia and Sonata Encore Spinning Wheels
Level Wind Systems Inc. is proud to introduce the Patented Autowind Flyer, designed specifically for the modern magnetic flyer heads used on the Kromski Fantasia Spinning Wheel and Kromski Sonata Encore Spinning Wheel.
These wheels feature Kromski’s innovative Magnetic Flyer System, allowing the flyer and bobbin to be removed instantly for quick bobbin changes and smoother spinning performance.
The Autowind system automatically distributes yarn evenly across the bobbin while you spin, eliminating the need to constantly move yarn between flyer hooks. This allows you to focus on drafting and treadling while the yarn winds itself evenly, producing a beautiful level-wound bobbin every time.
Designed for the Magnetic Flyer System
Kromski’s Fantasia and Sonata Encore wheels use a magnetic flyer head with sliding hooks and a ball-bearing spindle, providing smoother rotation and faster bobbin changes compared to traditional flyer systems.
The Autowind flyer is engineered to integrate seamlessly with this design, taking full advantage of the magnetic system’s convenience while adding automatic level winding.
Because the Autowind system is completely self-powered and self-contained, it introduces no additional drag to the spinning wheel. Treadling remains smooth and effortless.
Simply turn it on and start spinning—the Autowind does the rest.
Spin Longer Without Stopping
Without an autowinder, spinners must frequently move yarn between flyer hooks to fill the bobbin evenly. This constant adjustment interrupts the rhythm of spinning.
With the Autowind system, yarn is automatically guided across the bobbin as you spin. You can spin for hours without stopping, finishing with a perfectly level-wound bobbin that unwinds smoothly during plying or winding off.
The even winding pattern also helps prevent fiber tangling, making the plying process easier and more enjoyable.
No Special Bobbins or Maintenance Required
Unlike other winder systems, the Autowind flyer:
-
Does not require gear-driven bobbins
-
Requires no oil or lubrication
-
Eliminates the need to manually move yarn guides
The unit is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries, which typically last weeks to months depending on usage.

Easy Care and Maintenance
The Autowind system is designed to be simple and reliable. Large access windows allow stray fibers to be easily removed if they collect during spinning.

Once you spin with the Autowind system, you’ll wonder how you ever spun without it.
