We've decided to put the Queue back up for the Falcons. Due to their niche nature when we make Falcons it's a very small run. We want to ensure those who are waiting for a Falcon are able to get one and the queue is the best way to gauge how many and how often they should be built. If you are wanting a Falcon please fill out our Google Form. The first batch from the queue will be built in August. Join the Falcon Queue

Our newest battery the Daedalus Battery V4 is our easiest battery to use to date. However it does have a few tricks up its sleeve. The Cable This cable is a special one and no other cable should be used to connect your battery to your speed controller(or wheel in the case of Martin). This cable ensures that 15 volts is being transferred from the battery to your wheel. The Cable will draw power from the battery even if the cable is not plugged into the speed controller. When not in use please make sure the cable is unplugged from both the speed controller and the battery. The Extra USB Port On the Daedalus Battery V3 if the wheel was not drawing enough power it would automatically shut off. To remedy this we provided a USB light with the battery to ensure enough power was being drawn. The Daedalus Battery V4 does not require this, in fact no other items should be plugged into the battery while operating your wheel. If other items are plugged in this was disengage the power going to the wheel. Should this occur you will need to unplug all cables from the battery as well as unplug the cord to the speed controller. After everything is unplugged, you can then use the special cable to connect your battery and speed controller. The Power Button The Daedalus V4 Battery has some special features depending on how many times you press the power button. Tap Two Times - Low Power Mode Tap Three Times - Battery Reboot When in Low Power Mode the battery percentage number will rotate. While in this mode the battery will not provide enough power to the wheel which will result in the wheel going slow. If you notice this please make sure you exit Low Power Mode Should you accidentally enter Low Power Mode follow these steps Press your Speed Controller to Pause the Wheel Set your Speed Controller switch to Neutral Double Tap the Power button on your battery (when you do this the speed controller will power off) Once you've double tapped the power button the number on the battery screen should stop rotating but the speed controller will still be off. * Unplug the Speed Controller and then plug it back in (if power doesn't resume to speed controller unplug cable from battery as well and then plug everything back up) Once you've completed these steps you should be able to resume spinning. * when the power cuts off on the speed controller while still being plugged in it will after a period of time power back on. Please make sure when you are not wanting to operate the wheel that your speed controller switch is always in the neutral position. If you are stopping your spin session or briefly walking away please unplug the battery cable from the battery and speed controller If you press the power button three times it will state 188 and the battery will reboot. Should you have any questions about your Daedalus battery please be sure to contact Daedalus Support via support@daedalusspinningwheels.com - Evanita

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. Cost Breakdown Sparrow (without the speed controller) - $500 Speed Controller (required to operate) - $125 Sparrow Bobbin 3 pack (black only) - $90 ​ *Sparrow price includes 3 all-black bobbins.

Rodriguez H. Lysantri W. Manninen J. Warren About the Magpie V2 Our most powerful and adaptable wheel to date, with an RPM (rotations per minute) of 2,550 with the standard flyer in use (1,550 with the art flyer—still worlds ahead of most e-spinners). We consider this our “all in one” spinning wheel, as it will spin fine singles as easily as it will spin your longest locks, super bulky yarn, coils and beehives, and every single yarn you can imagine in between. The art flyer’s 32 mm (1.26 inch) orifice (with a 20 mm reducer) means no more struggling with your loftiest, most inspired yarns, although the Standard Flyer’s 12 mm (with 6 mm reducer) still provides a soft landing whether you’re spinning low-twist singles or delicate lace. This e-spinner is for experienced and beginner spinners alike. ​ Cost Breakdown Magpie V2 Body with Speed Controller Included - $950 Art Flyer and 3 Bobbins - $500 Standard Flyer and 3 Bobbins - $500 Standard Bobbin 3 Pack (your choice of color) - $140 Art Bobbin 3 Pack (your choice of color) - $160 What's Included with your Magpie V2 Purchase When purchasing a Magpie V2 you will receive the Magpie V2 Body, Built in Speed Controller, and accessories kit. You will need to pick which Flyer Kit you would like to go with your Magpie V2 Body. If you purchase one Flyer Kit and would like the other kit, you can order it at any time. Evanita
