A big thanks to vampy for the demonstration, and telling us about using the cones to boil handspun cotton.

hi! this is such a helpful video! i bought the EEW cone winder and was using it with an umbrella swift to wind some light weight acrylic yarn. i have the tensioner lined up about 36 cm further than the distance shown on the EEW cone winder placement diagram and it is directly in line with the cone winder. When i try winding the yarn on the cone, the yarn is winding too close to the top of the cone and becoming wrapped around the bearing on the top of the cone holder. The yarn is clogging that end of the winder, preventing further winding from occurring. Do i have it set up incorrectly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance. -Yvonne

Where do you place the cone you are winding from? Is it on the floor?

Hello just received the cone winder, unfortunately there was no manual and clamp for the tension unit. I will try to wind some yarn tomorrow.

Lovely video - unfortunately a lot of it is hard to see with the mid-level light and the black winder. I look forward to using it once it arrives. Thank you

I wonder if you could show the cone winder with a swift? I want to wind lots of hanks onto cones, and it would be good to see :}

I couldn't do that in this video as I didn't have enough space to set it all up without showing the large amounts of clutter in my craft room, and i didn't have a backdrop large enough to cover it! I did however make a video to show that it works, so here you go: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/maeEl7lova6oonU.html just ignore the mess!

Hey again, i was wondering would you be able to test this with 120 sewing thread, if it works i'll let all of my groups on facebook know and there are over 2 million people in them groups. Everyone's been wanting to buy something like this. But i dont want to buy it for it not to work.....if you just get a cone of overlocker thread, then if it eorks id buy one straight away?

Thank you for the demonstration. I received mine today and have used it a couple of times already. I have found that the motor on mine is quite loud, making a rapid tapping sound that corresponds to the speed I’ve set it to. Is there anything I can do about that?
@DreamingRobotsBlog8 ай бұрын
I don't think it's the motor noise. Most of the noise comes from the cone and the drum rubbing. This is normal for this type of cone winder.

Thanks for this interesting video. I watched out of interest rather than needing a cone winder but isn't it lovely we can wind our own cones if needed. One question, does the yarn meter work alone without the cone winder?
@DreamingRobotsBlog9 ай бұрын
Yes. You can see more about it here: www.dreamingrobots.com/yarn-counter/

Thanks for doing this video, Vampy. The only question I think I am left with is how to judge how much tension to use? What are symptoms of the tension being too light? I imagine the main issue with the tension being too tight would be yarn breakage. Anything else to look for?
@vampyyy9 ай бұрын
if it were too light it wouldn't wind neatly, you'd get sloppy collapsing cones, and potentially more issues with jerking as the tension varied coming off your yarn source. Too tight would only break very fine yarn, it's jerky motions that tend to break yarn rather than just tension, but you'd find the yarn stretching out, and perhaps the cone winder even slowing and stopping like it does when you have a snag.

Can we use thread with this ....or is it just for wool
@vampyyy9 ай бұрын
You can use it with anything yarn-like and reasonably smooth. The red in the video is a moderately fine cotton weaving yarn, I've also tried it with cobweb weight wool. I've not tried with sewing thread, but I can see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Can you please tell us the name of the clamp you used and where to buy? Thanks.
@peachymanaangel15 күн бұрын
Those are called ratchet clamps and you can find them in most hardware stores, normally in the tool section.
@njwphd9 ай бұрын
Can you show how to thread their yarn through the yarn counter? Or is that shown elsewhere, and share the link for that video please. thank you!

Thank you. Of course I want to buy one. Are they suitable for 240 volts power supply?
@DreamingRobotsBlog7 ай бұрын
The power supply it comes with works with 240 volts. You just need a plug converter or a C7 cable.

Thank you very much. I have written to you.

hi, on your website it says that this can wind raw skein. How would this work? Would I have to buy an umbrella swifter?
@DreamingRobotsBlog7 ай бұрын
An umbrella swift works well. If you already have a skein winder those will work as long as they don't add too much tension.
@polkunus7 ай бұрын
@@DreamingRobotsBlog thanks for the response. Is it just trial and error to determine the right angle and distance?
