Home made cone winder for rug tufting

It would be wonderful if one motor could do the same thing.

Absolutely amazing! Good for you! Now I gotta see if my husband can make one for me! Thanks for sharing :)

[@treetopspider]

Hopefully the video will help him put one together. I honestly dont know how I came up with the idea

[@sheilawest622]

Excellent, thank you for sharing your invention. Now I wonder whether my husband would sacrifice his angle grinder???

Very good project. I made the horizontal wool winder into electric with a sewing machine motor set up with a pulley belt to both.

Hi David, thats a really good idea. There really ought to be a dedicated home users electric winding machine

Brilliant!! Very Impressive and well done!! :-)

Hi Terri
Thank you. I was rather impressed with myself 😁

[@jessicadarin7812]

this is amazing. would you ever consider making one to sell or making a DIY instruction manual?!

[@treetopspider]

Hi Jessica. As you saw in the video, It was hit or miss whether this was going to work or not. Sadly I have now sold all my rug making equipment along with the cone winder. But the answer to your original question was yes I did think about getting a Chinese manufacturer to make a better version of this which I could sell but I didnt think there was a market for it

This is amazing! What happens if you hit a knot or tangle in the yarn coming from the skein?

[@treetopspider]

Hi Anna, I do occasionally find knots when I'm winding. I feel for them before them before they end up on the cone. I simply stop the machine and unknot. It's a bit annoying but only takes a few seconds

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks; I do a lot of machine knitting and am constantly winding yarn.
