SPIN #95 - EEW 6.0 Early Look at What Comes With It

[@pamrambin7447]

Wow! Thanks for the update, it just makes me long for February that much more. I’m using the nano now and when I see how big the bobbins are 😍, I’ll be able to spin a full skein of yarn!

[@xotlaughing]

I really appreciate your videos and updates! Love that you are including "extras", so handy to have.

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

Thanks so much for keeping us updated. This is something to look forward to in the middle of winter. So much fun!

[@joshuablack2446]

I wish mine included the lazy Kate's... a friend that doesn't spin bought it for me for recovery from brain surgery & not having the right size lazy Kate will make plying impossible

[@sharonhein5160]

Thanks! I’m so excited to receive my 6.0. Just as a suggestion, if you put a white cloth on your table it will be much easier to see all of these black parts in the video. I really appreciate all your updates

[@giddermup]

I am so glad that you are doing these videos and keeping us updated. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. I'm really getting excited to receive my wheel. Thank you!

[@aliceormsbee6736]

Wow...I can't WAIT! Squeee! :D

[@virginiamclaren7571]

great instructions...looking forward to getting this electric spinner!

[@lindabishop-surbeck2575]

You’ve thought of everything! I’m excited to get mine.

[@ellenblack5376]

Very excited ! Thank you for this video ! Appreciate all the updates. No worries might take a bit longer to get.

[@knit1cat219]

Wahooo, good to see the progress of things. Thanks for the video!!

[@cynthiasuniga9050]

Looking very interesting..... I can't wait.... but I will understand if there are delays. :)

[@vickielster3928]

So excited to get this! Maurice, please use a lighter color table and shirt for your next video. I found it hard to see the wheel and lazy Kate. Thank you.

[@ksisu1324]

Everything looks awesome! Thank you Maurice!!! February can't get here soon enough! I should get my battery purchased. Please remember, on the export paperwork to Canada, to state that this is fibre processing equipment. Canada Customs assessed the NANO as a toy and was heavily taxed

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

These days I put Tariff Code (HTC) 84452000 on all my packages which should clarify this. This code means "Textile spinning machines"

[@ksisu1324]

@@DreamingRobotsBlog Thank you!!! Hopefully Montreal customs won't be such idiots this time like holding the package for over 2 weeks.

[@ladonnjonsen4526]

Getting excited - very complete system. Just one suggestion for the official "Getting Started" video, it would be clearer if the surface you are demonstrating on was a contrasting color as well as the shirt you are wearing... hard to see things when everything is dark colored. Otherwise, it's great!

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

I'll make sure the lighting is good and the backgrounds easy to see in the getting started video.

[@ksisu1324]

Think of taking a photo and turn it to a black&white photo to check how clear the shot will be.

[@Laurpud]

That's what *I* was going to say! I hate to criticize, because I love my little EEW Mini, & am looking forward to the skein winder

[@abitofwhimsie]

Can’t wait to have one!!!

[@thatonegirlelaine]

Squee! Can. Not. Wait!

[@travelingbairknits]

Looks great! Will you contact us prior to shipping?

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

Yes. I don't have any of the kickstarter backer's shipping addresses so I will be sending out a survey to collect this information shortly before I start shipping.

[@ThatsEunice]

It would be nice if it came in a rainbow of colors. I hope you ship to Nigeria at an affordable shipping cost.

[@nblmqst1167]

Anticipation!!!

[@littl3misstt775]

I have the nano I got it second hand and taught myself how to spin on it but I truly want this wheel.... It is a much needed upgrade where do I order it??

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

You can get it here: www.dreamingrobots.com/product/eew6/ But it's currently out of stock. That page has more info about when it will be back in stock.

[@myroslavajacklitsch6039]

Thanks!

[@tiffaniatthepygmyfarmstead3003]

If this was already addressed, I’m sorry but will you be selling extra motors and making a video on how to replace them like you did the nano?

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

I will have extra motors. I'm still deciding if I want to sell them on my website though. I can certainly sell them if you contact me. The reason for this is these motors should last a very long time and really shouldn't need to be replaced. Putting these on my website would cause two issues. The first is that people will assume they need to buy an extra one when they buy the EEW 6.0 and then will never use that second motor, which is just a waste. I really try to do my best to keep the environmental impact of my product low and one way of doing that is not selling things people don't need. Second if I put spare motors on my website people will assume they don't last very long and will think the EEW 6.0 motors aren't as good as my competition which doesn't sell motors on their website.

@@DreamingRobotsBlog ah okay! I was just curious but thank you for replying! I can’t wait for the release!!
