Set-Up
• Start by removing the crank and counter from the base and set aside. Next,
gently remove the arm plates from the base, and set these aside as well. Re-
move the spreader bar and set it aside; flip the base over and pop the sides
up.
• Insert the spreader bar into the arm plates by sliding the wing feature into
the stop-notch that lines up with the arm. Repeat on the other end; your arm
plates should be offset from one another (the arms on each end should be
opposite the gaps on the other end). If yours are lined up, change the position
of the removeable spreader bar endcap so that they oppose each other.
• Once assembled, place the arm assembly into the receiver cups. You may need
to either pull or push the base apart, depending on the tightness. Place the
counter on one side, and the crank on the other (these can be used on either
side, depending on your preference).
To Use
• To start skeining, either slide your yarn into the notch on one of the black
caps or tie it through a hole in the arm. Wrap your yarn around the next arm
and begin turning the arm assembly. Continue turning and wrapping the yarn
back and forth.
• When you are finished with your skein, remove the crank and counter, and
then remove the arm assembly from the base. Turn one black endcap down,
allowing the skein to begin coming off, and it will release from the arms.
Expanding
• To use the extender bar (for 2.5 or 3 yard skeins), remove everything from the
base, and pull the arm plates off of the spreader bar. Pull the removable cap
off of one end (it’s slightly different) and set it aside. Remove the extender bar
from the base and insert the original spreader bar into the end of it. Place the
cap back on the extender and the bar is ready to go.
• To lengthen the base, pull the base outward and reassemble the arm plates
onto the extended spreader bar. Place the arm assembly into the receiver
cups, then reattach the crank and counter. Skeining is the same as previously
described.
Packing Up
• To disassemble the Super Skeiner, remove the crank and counter and set
them aside. Remove the arm assembly and set it aside as well. Fold down
the middle of the base structure and flip it over. Pull the arm plates off of the
spreader bar, and set the spreader bar back into its storage notches. Line up
the pegs on the base with the small holes in the arm plates. Place the crank
and counter back in their storage brackets.
