Welcome to the Flock!
Thank you for purchasing the most powerful and flexible Daedalus
electric spinning wheel to date! It was designed to be quiet, long-
lived, and to require little to no maintenance during its lifetime.
Should you need any assistance with your wheel, please do not
hesitate to contact us at support@daedalusspinningwheels.com
To watch a video on how to assemble your wheel, please scan the
QR code below. When setting up your wheel after assembling from
flat-pack, you’ll want to make sure that everything is properly aligned
for optimal spinning. (This
is also a wise procedure
after traveling with your
Daedalus wheel.)
The motor mount is
designed to be easily
removed and reinstalled
facing the opposite
direction, in order to
change tensioning systems
from Scotch to Irish. In
Scotch tension, the motors
drive the flyer and the tension belt provides resistance to the bobbin,
allowing yarn to wind on. In Irish tension, it’s the opposite: the bobbin
is led by the motors. Because of this feature, you will need to make
sure the motors and the pinion pulleys are properly aligned, directly
underneath the appropriate whorl before spinning.
