Cool, its like a charkha but with the extra pulley!

Oh my gosh what a terrible surprise to have dumped on you!! I hope it all works out.

Oh yes. I know the real-estate in your area. Expensive! I hope all comes together for you.

I hope you find the perfect place for you, and everything will be great 👍

So sorry to hear about your living situation. Hope you can find a new home quick.

I have a big old wheel made for cotton I think because the spindle is just under six inches long. I never used the Minors Head, I went direct drive (52:1). I have been spinning for 40 years and also started out on the Ashford Traditional. Got the Walking Wheel for a song so I used it for the Woolen spun singles and plied on the Traddy. My Cops (copse, copps) are cone shaped. To keep the spun yarn from squeezing off the tip while spinning, I wrap a rubber band around the spindle about an inch from the tip. Never had any need for quills, I just remove the rubber band, put my thumb on the end of the spindle and pull off the Cops. You quickly learn to precisely control the twist in the yarn and keep it consistent which means great 2-ply yarn in the end. I have met so many people that told me that they couldn't use the walking wheel and it has never taken more than twenty minutes for me to get them happily spinning. It must be something bred into me because the first time I saw a Walking Wheel, I knew I could do it. Great video!

I have never used my antique pirn winder to spin (I use it to wind off of my other antique wheels) but why not? Love it! I noticed that it may have a wooden wheel axel-word of caution: hit it with petroleum jelly or similar every. time. you. use. it. So much more fragile than the forged metal variety.

Great demo. Thanks

Your cone colors match the print framed in gold behind you. How fitting!

Great tips - thank you so much!

How is the rod attached to the back beam? (Not sure about terminology here.)

Now I need a standard gauge machine with a ribber! My LK150 feels limiting at this point

It is so good to hear that this is a good carder. I too do not have a lot of money for big equipment and have been checking out the carder that my local library has. As you can imagine, it is not in good shape and the wait list for it is always months long so this is a very attractive carder to me.

Can I ask you do you cut the knots off after the scarf has been washed and the yarn has felted ?

Great to see your experiment. I only have a very small twister but I might try improving that now! Thanks 😊

Neat! Nice scarf too 👍🏻

Спасибо за видео🔥🔥🔥

Thank you Ser

I how much it cost pls

Great video! Can you please provide the dimensions on your warping reel?

What a gorgeous place and this group is awesome. I wish we had guilds in my country. Thanks for taking us with you!❤

This is so perfect, and information that has been so hard to find! Thanks for this!

I bought this drum carder because of this review. Thank you for taking a chance on it, so I would, too.

very good info, thank you from sunny South Australia ;-)

Thanks for another video Mr. Weft Wright! I don't currently have space for looms but wondered if anyone else might like this: I am very frugal and the horror 😱 of using my project yarn to tie on with only to cut so much of it when removing from the loom was the origin for this idea. I used to keep my loom set up with cheap yarn on both front and back beams. Something like rug warp worked well. To these I would use one of your handy knots to fasten on my project yarn. The knots must be able to pass through the dents for a few rows of weft in order to maximize the savings but it always worked out for me.

It is always great to find something new and I did learn a knew knot. thanks

You did it again: another great video ❤thank you! I learned everything by myself so it’s nice to see how you do things and I feel somewhat validated 😊🎉

Very helpful! Thank you.

Yay!! It’s me! Very excited for Arda to join our family! ❤ love your videos Trent!

Good morning Trent...thank you for this nicely done video. I use an AVL warping wheel for my sectional warping. My question to you is this...on my old AVL loom, I could wind the warp on without messing with the brake as it only prevented the warp from being "unwound"...that is while advancing the warp during weaving. The brake did NOT prevent the sectional beam from going backwards as when winding on. So, on my David 3 the brake cable prevents the sectional beam from moving in either direction without the brake being disengaged. I have been removing the cable from the spring to wind on....Is this what you do? Thanks so much...cheryl

Mr.Dreaming Robots is quite a fellow. Thank you for this video showing yet another piece of equipment to drool over. Now I need to go through your list of videos and check out your machine knitting ones!

I literally typed "EEW Cone Winder Review" into KZbin search yesterday morning, probably right before you posted this. Your timing is impeccable! Thanks, Trent!

Does it allow winding in both directions? I have found with winding cakes that its best to do it once clockwise then once anticlockwise so the yarn doesn't have any extra twist added, so would this be possible with this cone winder? Cakes have served me well for my machine but it would be neat to upgrade

Lovely artwork in your background I live 45 minutes away from Arles and Musée Reattu ❤

That sounds fun. What a great idea! I would love to visit Asheville and have heard great things about it.

I enjoy cleaning fleece. I have tried suint bath and normal washing with detergent. I often did multiple full fleece at a time, so the suint bath became my favourite. it was a few years ago though and most of the cleaned and carded wool is still waiting for me to spin it (I got sick). I Love single treadle wheels and Ive found the Ashford traveller is great if you can get an old one with single treadle, because you can alternate and use either leg to power it. It is great for my bad hips. Oh, I also keep a piece of unwashed wool for my records too ;-). Thanks for the video.

My eyes are nearly popping out of my head at how skillful you are. WOW. I am practically a beginner, and now Im wondering how long it takes to get that good. I will go and watch all your other videos to learn. Hope your foot gets better soon. not being able to pedal would be a pain 😅

Ikat weavers have to embrace chaos. Glad everything worked out for you ❤🎉

This is very interesting. I have found that by and large cross overs behind the heddles are not a problem but on one occasion the draft was such that the shed was compromised. Bad luck I think on my part. 😕

Success!! I love how weaving and other textile crafts engage the problem-solving and tool-inventing part of my mind.

Very much enjoyed your careful demonstration of the little great wheel, so happily named, and the way you manage the fiber on it. Plus the pirn! One less step to the loom. I spin cotton on a tiny lap spindle and yes, it’s more relaxed and meditative than is using the flyer wheel. May it be cool and lovely over there in Western NC…waving from the Kentucky Bluegrass. Now off to check the website. Many thanks!

Got an extra wheel?

May I ask, you said that you measured the yarn on the bobbins but you had yarn remaining on the bobbins. Does that mean you measured more yarn than you needed on the spools? Or you had enough on each spool for the full width. Eg. 2m warp with 10 inch width so you had 2x10 on each spool? Sorry for beginner question

Thank you for the reviews -- very helpful. Will you wheel still work if you only use one treadle? I can do that with my double treadle wheel -- and always do, because the double treadle is hard on my back.

What a cute little wheel. I would love one of those because I don’t have the room for a great wheel. Loved the paper tip.

I loved it. I imagine a lot of my ancestors spinning on the porch. I feel the same connection 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & your wonderful wheel. Ive never seen one like that type use. Your grandmother was beautiful, you were blessed to be able to learn from her.
