Second, the spinning energy is also used to wind the spun yarn onto the bobbin. Usually this works like clockwork, but then there are those times when the yarn will not wind onto the bobbin. Take up problems can be the result of a variety of different causes. Some are easily remedied, while others take some work to. You simply slip the bit into your power screwdriver or drill, then slip the bobbin onto the bit. Tie the end of your single on to the bobbin. You can now guide the yarn off your spinning wheel bobbin onto 'BOBBINS UP' with your finger. You can load a 5 oz. Bobbin in a couple of minutes. Spinning Wheel Bobbin Not Turning - jpfasr Sometimes, if you're working with an older sewing machine, your bobbin winder won't disengage, and the needle will go up and down while you're trying to wind a bobbin. This can be caused by 2 things. #1) you've got some. If a spinning wheel is setup with double drive tension, the drive band is wrapped around the drive wheel and flyer twice, with placement in different grooves on the flyer or bobbin depending on the wheel style. Drive Band Adjustment Knob: On the spinning wheel shown above, this is a knob located on the front of the Mother-of-All.

The basic idea is that you fill out our packing slip and send it to us along with whatever you have to be fixed or copied. The packing slip generates an invoice, and payment of the invoice puts the work on the bench. The packing slip also travels with your work and identifies it as yours..there are a lot of parts and pieces around here and the packing slip makes the difference between order and chaos!
Really important: We do not stain or in any way color the replacement pieces and/or repairs unless the work with us is specifically commissioned to include finish treatment. This is usually only in the cases of pieces that originally were painted, and even then usually only for pieces that need specialty painting such as rosemåling. We will not agree to do simple staining or similar finishes. People have really particular ideas about color and finish, plus ideas about sourcing (organic, living wage, fair trade, etc etc etc), plus allergies & intolerances innumerable. We cannot anticipate nor sort through those, and as a general rule it is best to anticipate your work coming back to you sanded but not finished. We use good woods, and most of these will age to a lovely color, just as most wheels or looms do. If you want it stained, we cannot provide this service.

So, with that all said, the prices--in no particular order and not including shipping or paypal fees--are:

>>> SPINNING WHEEL PARTS

- entire flyer assembly (new flyer, one new bobbin, new whorl) with either 1/2' or 1/4' orifice, $150. This comes with an orifice hook.

Important note: Most antique flyers have small orifice openings, and we replicate those with the 1/4' sizing. However, thicker or 'art' yarn will not work with these, and thus the 1/2' opening gives you a great deal more yarn design flexibility while still looking very much like the original.

- put a flyer on your axle, $50
- whorl, $20 (this can be a new whorl, a replacement, one with different size ratios, etc)
- extra bobbins, $30/each.

BUY 5, GET 6

Important note: you can mix & match styles of bobbins as you wish with the 'Buy 5, Get 6' deal, meaning that the order does not have to be all bobbins for the same wheel, but can be 3 for one wheel and 3 for another, or 2 each for three different wheels, or whatever. Go in with a friend! All we need is an original of each to replicate it. If you do not have the original, then we will have to have your flyer & whorl here so we can design a bobbin to go on them. Please double-box flyers: they are fragile. Includes complementary orifice hook.
