You are the BEST! Your product reviews are trustworthy

❤Just discovered your channel. Your explanations are thorough and very useful. Thank you! I am a newish weaver and old machine knitter.

Trent, Thank You for making this video. We stepped away for weaving for several years after retirement and your video was a great refresher. We will be back on track with a few updates.

I hope your move goes smoothly and that you love your new weaving space.

This was a very helpful video and filled in gaps in my knowledge along with some useful tips.

Very helpful. Moving can be rather stressful so I hope yours went smoothly.

I’ve been weaving for over 30 years. May I suggest investing in an AVL Warping Wheel. Makes sectional warping a dream - no winding on of bobbins - no tension box. Spoil yourself - you’ll also find it speeds up weaving

I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now. Our men's knitting retreat that is normally held at the YMCA Blue Ridge Center in Black Mountain every November is, needless to say, canceled this year. There are about 30+ of us that come from as far away as Seattle for this retreat. Since we're not likely to find an alternative location for our retreat on short notice, we'll be staying put in our homes. That said, having seen your video, I'm going to suggest to my group that we spend some time crafting items that can be donated in and around WNC for the coming cold weather. I, myself, am in Chapel Hill, and I will plan to drive to the area as soon as I can make it there safely and without being in the way of first and second responders. I will hope to find a way to pitch in with whatever help I can offer. This will be a good alternative activity for me since our retreat will have to be canceled this year. My name is Scott. I stumbled across your channel just a few weeks ago. I'm also a spinner and a weaver but I'm sure not as prolific as you appear to be. Take care of yourself and thank you for your content.

Yikes! Even on sale this fiber was $47 a pound when I looked just now. Really, after spinning it looks a lot like some of the undyed fleece I processed and spun. Kind of a pleasant mix of natural shades. Your e-spinner makes the spinning look so meditative. Just the thing to calm the nerves after all you have been through! And on that topic I am so glad to hear you are mostly unharmed by the storm. It was simply incredible to see it reach as far inland as it did. I have had North Carolina and Virginia in mind for my next (probably last) home and have looked around there quite a lot online. Now I see it isn't just the coast that catches the storms! Poor Asheville!

(Not a weaving comment, but would that shirt happen to be by Arrow? I got a similar one through "Stitch Fix". It's one of my favorite shirts.)

thank you

I was curious - I see online there are these 'warp dividers' that are designed for sectional beams that function basically like 1" warp sticks in each section. I notice you didn't use anything like that here, have you ever used any kind of warp stick or separator when sectional warping?

Wow, 30 days doesnt seem anywhere long enough to find a new home. I thought 60 days was too short when my nephew got his eviction notice, but 30 days is crazy. Wishing you the best of luck with everything.

Really enjoyed the video. There isn't a ton of information on sectional warping out there, and this was so clear and informative, explained everything.

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 UA-cam 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
