Wahooo! I just bought 2 sewing machine motors on Ebay to make a yarn winder for $30 each. They both come with the pedals. I’m “hoping” (ie praying like mad) that each one can be used to make a winder. It all depends on if I can get 2 belts to run off of each motor. it should be powerful enough for that. Sewing machines have strong motors. If it works out that we can fit 2 belts with each one, then it would use one pedal to control the speed. It’s easy enough to wind the yarn from a blank into two cones, but it’s hard to do fast and it’s hard to do by yourself. My PH/DH (patient and dear) usually has to hold the blank for me because it sticks a bit at the end of a row. It would be nice to have an electric winder. :)
Here’s some soap I made for Mother’s Day.
