Shop Update - Saturday, August 1st at 4 PM EDT
We are pleased to announce that our next Penelope Shop Update will be on Saturday, August 1st at 4 PM EDT. We appreciate the patience of those awaiting this release. This batch took longer than expected, partly due to our relocation earlier this year and the high temperatures and humidity that impacted our ability to work on the wood finishing. We are actively working to improve our production process for the Penelope to ensure higher production rates in the future.

New to Band Weaving?
We highly recommend that those who are new to weaving or band weaving check out our Penelope manual to familiarize themselves with the loom and its potential possibilities. This can help you gauge what sort of additional supplies you may want. We also have a great resource section at the back of the manual to help jumpstart your adventure into band weaving.

How to Prepare for the Shop Update

General
Make sure you have a Daedalus Shop account. If you haven't already signed up for a shop account login on the shop, you'll want to ensure you do that ahead of time. At the top of the shop, you'll see a little person icon. Simply click on this, and on the next page, you'll click "Create account" to set up your account. Please ensure you fill out all the information and set up your shipping address so you don't have to worry about that later.
We highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with our shop.
For the best shopping experience, we recommend using a device that is capable of using Apple Pay or Google Pay. These methods of payment, if set up, are extremely quick. We also recommend if using PayPal to ensure that you are already logged in to your PayPal account in advance.
You'll want to ensure you add any additional items you'd like to purchase before the shop update. This could include things like a Speed Controller, which is required to operate our wheels (except for Dove and Martin). If you already have one of our wheels, you don't need to purchase another controller. You can also add extra packs of bobbins, and a motor extension cable. Anything you can prepare in advance so that you can get through checkout as quickly as possible will improve your chances of scoring a wheel.
Please note that due to the number of orders that go through during a Shop Update, we do not combine orders. Please make sure to add any accessories to your cart ahead of the update, so all you will need to do is add your Shop Update item to your cart before checking out.
Our machines are in high demand, so they can go quickly, but we encourage everyone who would like one of our wheels, winders, and/or looms to try, and if you don't succeed in this batch, there will be more batches in the future!
Some items may sell out quicker than others, while other items may take a bit longer, so don't hesitate to check the shop even if you are late to the update.
Large Purchases
If you are purchasing multiple large devices, such as a combination of multiple wheels, winders, and/or looms, your order may need to be packed in multiple boxes. If we need to ship multiple boxes, we will send an email to notify you of the additional shipping invoice charge.
Outside Continental United States
If you are outside the Continental United States, we highly recommend purchasing additional accessories and spares to avoid having to make small purchases in the future should the need arise.
Due to EU Policies, Daedalus is no longer able to sell to the European Union. https://www.trade.gov/market-intelligence/eu-consumer-goods-general-product-safety-regulation-gpsr
Batteries
We no longer sell batteries. Check the following blog to learn about how to purchase officially recommended batteries. https://www.daedalusspinningwheels.com/post/officially-approved-batteries
If you have any questions before the shop update, please email support@daedalusspinningwheels.com so we can make sure all your questions are answered in advance.
Happy Spinning, Winding, and Weaving!

We understand the frustration this shop update may have caused. We had a total of 30 Penelopes in this batch. This batch took longer than expected, partly due to our relocation earlier this year and the high temperatures and humidity that impacted our ability to work on the wood finishing. We are actively working to improve our production process for the Penelope to ensure higher production rates in the future while still maintaining our standard of quality.
Part of our new process involves an update to our finishing process, as we were not completely satisfied with our previous finishing process. This latest batch was a trial run of our new finishing process that is in line with our standard of…
It sold out in less than 2 minutes. I had one in my shopping cart, went to add something and when I went to check out it said "sold out". I glanced at the clock and it said 3:01 (CDT).
I had everything ready to go, sold out in less than 5 minutes. I strongly recommend a wait list be established, I am even willing to pay in advance.
Penelope sold out after only 5 minutes?
