I purchased mine from Cotton Acres: www.cottonacres.com/shop/gin/mini-wheel-cotton-gin/

I'm from India ​@@experimentno.1810

​@@experimentno.1810can you help me?

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that Cotton Acres no longer sells these. I do still use mine, but if I ever decide to sell it I'll let you know.

Thank you! I hope your spinning goes well!

I got mine from Cotton Acres. Link is in the video description. :)

Thanks

It's a Gin from Cotton Acres (link is in the description).

The link is not open.. another way.. is available?

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking. Are you wondering about the individual cotton fibers or the yarn diameter?

Hi. Link to where I got the gin is in the description of the video!

Hmm, It's hard without knowing what type of tools you're using. If the singles are pulling apart then there's not enough twist in them. If you're using a wheel, have you adjusted the uptake? I find it really hard to spin cotton with either too much or too little uptake as it tries to pull the single either too fast (leading to not enough twist) or too slowly (leading to too much twist).

Thank you!

I'm so glad it was helpful! I got my wrist distaff from Maine Fiber Tools who is no longer in business, but there are a couple of makers on Etsy who have similar ones I think.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! This gin is actually different from the one that revolutionized cotton production. The gin that is used in most processing relies on blades that grab the cotton fiber where this one uses rollers and pressure. 😊

I actually bought it from Cotton Acres, though it arrived broken and I had to fix it so I wouldn't recommend them.

Yay! I'm so glad to hear it was helpful!

Thank you!

I think the original gins were a little different design with blades instead of rollers, but yes, it is exhausting to crank the gin for an extended period of time.

@@experimentno.1810 yeah that's how they've done it in the USA for generations. But if you go back, WAAAY back, the first gins used rollers like this. It was how they first processed cotton in India. You can see an old gin from a museum collection demonstrated in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKurdWqVmbx4n80

I’m so glad to hear it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to let me know! 😊

I’m so glad it was helpful!

It’s hard to know without seeing your gin, but it sounds like the seeds might be getting pulled between the rollers. I know mine does that if the rollers are a bit too far apart. I tighten mine until I get a bit of resistance when turning (but not so much that I can’t turn the handle). I hope that helps, but if not, let me know and I’ll try to think of other things that might cause it.

Might be using the wrong breed of cotton.

I want to by it .address pls

Hi! The hand crank actually turns the bottom (wooden) roller which turns the top (metal) roller by friction. The large wheel on the opposite side of the gin is attached to the metal roller though should I want to turn it by hand as well. Hope this helps!

@@experimentno.1810 Thanks!

@@TomsBiologicalVideography Hi, Tom! Funny how internet works! I have just binge watched your videos on your Sea Island cotton and your cotton gins. :)

Hi! I got the gin from Cotton Acres, though it arrived 6 months late and broken so do know that that is a possibility if you order from them.
