  • Hey everyone! Welcome back for another unboxing video. I was lucky enough to back the Electric Eel Wheel 6.0, in Feb. 2019. In this video I get the wheel unboxed and run it through the initial paces. As always, if you like what you see, please like and subscribe.
    Exhibiting the Fiber Arts one project at a time. Aiming for bi-monthly installations.
    Lover of yarns and history, join me as I chat about knitting, spinning, and the occasional bit of dying.

    That is soo cool!! Maybe in the future. I’m still getting to know the ladybug that you inspired me to buy. Happy spinning. Thanks so much for sharing 👏👏❤️

      Yea!! You’re going to fall more and more in love with your bug. I was torn btwn the ladybug and flatiron when I was making my initial choice.... sometimes I wish I would have just gone with the ladybug 😂.
      Now I feel like my two wheels are looking at my me, like ok, when is it my turn to get played with next.

    Thank you so much for this video! I just bought the Nano 2. Lots smaller, but your video really helps because it’s my first ever spinning wheel. I am used to supported spinning and spin lace weight & cobweb yarn. As I prefer to have really small skeins for my knitting, I thought even plying would work well on the Nano. Wish me luck!

      @@yarncurator - It’s been two months now and that little e-spinner is FUN! 🤩 Working on lace weight merino, did a test spin of 100% alpaca that spins like butter. Yay!
      Thank you so much for the encouragement. It’s really appreciated!

    Watched a few days ago but wanted to say how much I enjoyed this! Spinning is not something I do (yet) but it was a fun video and so cool to see your progress xx

    Thanks for sharing!!! I got mine a few days ago (1648# Kickstarter) and I haven't had a chance to play with it. My box was mildly damaged, but doesn't look like it affected anything. I have been watching a lot of videos by vampy x and got some good tips from her. Boy, you and I are on the same wave length lately. Electric Eel Wheel and Weaving. Glad you are happy with it. Thanks again.

      Yea!!! It was tough, I finally got to warp my loom for the first time on Monday, which was the same day my wheel arrived. Which do I pick?! 😂😂. I’m so glad yours arrived safe and sound, the pictures of some the boxes has me worried. And yes team all the fiber crafts!!

    • @chrisgorball3166

      I think the eel wheel looks easier than warping a loom. lol Of course learning all new terminology and techniques in weaving is mind blowing. Yes, team all fiber crafts!!!

      @@chrisgorball3166 oh my gosh, so much to learn.I ended up just warping the total length across because I couldn’t be bothered to think or figure out math 😂

    It helps to keep two flyer hooks directly across from each other. The flyer is more evenly balanced. This also loads the bobbin evenly as you spin your fiber into yarn. 😁 🧶

      Thank you so much for the pro tip!!! Isn’t it a lovely little wheel?
