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.
Love this! Engineering solutions for fiber problems.
Now I want one! LOL
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 :-)
