Unboxing the New EEW 6.0 E-Spinner

I have something new to show you. I just got this in the mail… today we’re going to unbox the new Electric Eel Wheel 6.0 by Dreaming Robots.

I’ve been enjoying quite a bit of spinning lately, spinning up the rolags I made inspired by the Blending Boards: From Rolags to Roving course at the School. I’ve been spinning them on my Lendrum Saxony wheel at home, and also using the Ashford e-Spinner 3 – the two main wheels I’m using right now.

Now, last year I did an unboxing video about the EEW Nano e-spinner also made by Dreaming Robots. It’s a tiny little e-spinner. I spun on the Nano and I spun on the Ashford, and now I wanted to compare these both with spinning on the Electric Eel Wheel 6.0 which has just come out. Maurice at Dreaming Robots was very kind to send us a wheel so we could test it out, unbox it and show you everything about it. So on today’s Taking Back Friday episode, let’s show you what’s in the box!

If you already have an Electric Eel Wheel 6.0 e-Spinner, I’d love to hear what you think! Or if you have a different e-spinner you want to share about. And if there are any demos you would like me to do using this particular e-spinner, let me know what you’d like to see me spin!

We also hope to share a longer video with more on the EEW 6.0 e-Spinner soon – stay tuned!
