Welcome to the Flock!
Congratulaons on purchasing the Daedalus Whirligig, and welcome
to the Flock. We at Daedalus couldn’t be more thrilled that you
decided to trust us with your ber tool purchase. The Whirligig was
designed as an electric two-skein winder that doubles as a swi with
an electric counter. Whirligig is smooth and silent and pairs well with
the Roly-Poly electric ball winder. Should you need any assistance in
the future with your winder, please do not hesitate to contact us at
[email protected].
