Martin, Sparrow, and Starling Shop Update - Saturday June 14th

Updated: 2 days ago


Black Sparrow with Teal Trim

We will have Martins, Sparrows, and Starlings in the shop on Saturday June 14th at 4pm EST. We will have a timer banner at the top of the shop.

This is where you will find the listing for the Martin along with all your extras such as bobbins, and accessories. The Martin has a built in speed controller but is compatible with the External Speed Controller. If you wish to use the External Speed Controller you will need to purchase a motor extension cable (3ft recommended).

How to Prepare for the Shop Update



  1. Make sure you have a Daedalus Shop account. If you haven't already signed up for a shop account login already on the new 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.

  2. We highly recommend you familiarize yourself with our shop.

  3. For the best shopping experience, we recommend using a device that is capable of using Apple Pay or Google Pay. These methods of payments 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.

  4. 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. 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 an 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.


About the Sparrow

Affordable and adorable, the Sparrow is our most in-demand Daedalus e-spinner. It may be small in stature, but the 1.5 lb. Sparrow is a dynamo. This wheel is for the spinner who loves to spin fine yarns, though its 6 mm orifice can handle up to a heavy worsted/Aran weight yarn. Bobbin capacity is roughly 5-plus oz of yarn spun at 30 WPI. If you’re a spindler who prefers to ply using a perfectly responsive wheel, and/or if interested in achieving the most whisper-thin yarns you’ve ever spun, this is the Daedalus spinning wheel for you.

Sparrow (without the speed controller) - $500
