An Update on Akerworks Shop Updates
Hi everyone! We wanted to give an update concerning our Akerworks Shop Updates. We are slammed with prepping for SOAR and Rhinebeck, our last two fall festivals. Due to this, we will not be able to ship out an October 1st Shop Update of AkerKates in a timely fashion. In light of this, we have decided to forgo the October 1st Shop Update. Instead, we will have a November 1st Shop Update, and we will also have a batch of AkerKates available during our Black Friday Shop Update.

With our recent move of Daedalus HQ, we now have more space to work and we've added on a couple new members to our team. This has been such a dramatic change for us and we ar

Introducing the Dove
I cannot express how excited I am to finally offer a low-cost electric spinning wheel, one that still has that Daedalus elixir of sweet goodness pumping through its veins! What does that really mean? Still the same bulletproof mentality - big motors, silence, tons of lightness, hand-balanced flyers, aluminum brake drums, insane quality control, apocalyptic reliability. And still all built the same way as our other wheels, right here in the USA by our small hand-picked team of

Martin - Righties, Lefties, and Bobbins OH MY!
You asked for it, and we made it! A left-handed version of the popular Martin travel wheel. What used to seem like an arbitrary and trivial decision, on which side to put the controls, has now been revisited. After numerous requests, we listened and answered! Still all the same features as before, just with the controls swapped over to the left. … or is it? Because we are also proud to announce that Martin will come with three of the new Flat Pack bobbins as standard equipmen
