There’s something really relaxing spinning your yarn but spinning wheels, if you didn’t know, are quite expensive. I know, seems like they should be cheap because it’s 2017 but they’re not. A good wheel can cost hundreds of dollars. If you want to get into spinning but your budget is slim, the Electric Eel Wheel Mini is the small spinning wheel that fits in most budgets.

This is a Kickstarter projected for an electric spinning wheel that you can work with on table or even lap. It’s all electric so it doesn’t need the extra space for pedals or the large wheel. It’s small, lightweight and easy to use. All you need to be concerned with is feeding your fiber into the wheel.

This innovation wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea but if you or someone you know wants to take up spinning as a hobby, this is a great way to get started. The cost for one device and a bobbin is $50. They are expected to ship in June.
