Introducing Silver Needles Cone Winders
Update: March 2021
There's a waiting list and I'm anxious to fill everyone's orders. As fast as I build them, more orders keep coming in (a great situation to have!) Manufacturing supplies have arrived.
If you are a weaver, sock or machine knitter, yarn dyer, spinner, or fiber artist in general, this is an amazing tool and one customer called it revolutionary! Contact us with your name, mailing address, phone number to put your name on the waiting list. I will invoice you 3-4 weeks prior to shipping as your name comes up on the list. The SN200 winder is custom built with custom parts and major parts come from the USA and all assembly is done in Colorado.
Many of you have wondered what happened the past few years. Handcrafting of the winders passed from designer, (Dad), Aden, to Daughter and Husband, Barb and Scott. Barb passed away unexpectedly in 2017. Margit Tritt at PacaKnits is now the sole manufacturer and distributor of these great products and we're delighted with orders as we ramp up the manufacturing process! I guess my seven years in the USAF maintaining mechanical and electronic parts of computer mainframes has long lasting benefits!
Wind yarn from a skein or ball quickly onto a cone. The coned yarn then feeds so smoothly into your loom, sock or knitting machine. We stock the SN200 model for 7" plastic open topped cones. Cones are also available for the pointed top SN100.
The SN200 is $425 + shipping and insurance. Winders with 240V motors are $450 for international orders. We have customers in Canada, France, Japan, Australia, Czech Republic, and more on the list.
It's important to use the right size cones so two cones are provided with the SN200 to get you started immediately. More are available in bundles listed below. The plastic cones are virtually indestructible and almost infinitely reusable.
We also repair older winders if possible - we like to keep our winders winding! Send an email to me to discuss the problem and for shipping instructions.
