Wax Protectant for Akerworks’ Wood Products (optional)
Hi! As I’m sure I overemphasize in the video, this is not truly necessary, but it could be a helpful way of adding a bit of shine back to your Akerworks wood products.

Akerworks Spindles - Usage Guide
Просмотров 9216 лет назад
Here's a quick overview of how to use and adjust spindles in our M.odular A.djustable S.pindle S.ystem. Note: this applies to spindles purchased since their redesign in October 2018. Spindles made before then include a hub element that works the same way, it's just a separate part onto which the whorl attaches.

Akerworks Spindles (that is, our Modular Adjustable Spindle System components) are maybe not, at first glance at least, the most intuitive thing. I hope this video helps get past that first glance and make things clearer. Happy spinning! Note: this applies to spindles purchased since their redesign in October 2018.

Now I want one! LOL
Love this! Engineering solutions for fiber problems.
I like that they can pack flat for travel
Thanks for the demo
My Akerworks Super Skeiner doesn’t have the little button you referenced on the arm - is this a recent addition? Mine is under 2 years old. Good tip about not winding too tightly. I have had difficulty getting my yarn off. I’m about to ply some handspun so will give that a try when skeining it up.
Hi @kathyirwin8716! That’s correct, it’s a new development as of… Maybe autumn 2022 if I remember correctly? it’s an improvement but not a necessary one. If you do continue having trouble getting the skein off even with reduced tension, feel free to contact us (hello@akerworks.com is probably best) and we can help you troubleshoot, no worries.
That is such an ingenious construction!
That's very kind of you to say! It took a bunch of much less successful prototypes to get there, that's for sure :-)
Gute Idee. Bin schon am drucken
It was helpful to see the unpack and pack, but would be helpful to see it used. Looking for a video of that now.
clever
Where can I get one?
Will these bobbins work on a afford wheel
Hi Janice! We have bobbins that are compatible with some but not all of the Ashford flyers. If you email hello@akerworks.com we can figure out what kind will work best for you. Thanks :-)
I'll sue you for doing that
Thank you, very easy to understand and implement.
whoa so cool! (what exactly am I watching?)
