Electric El Wheel Nano 2 (EEW2) is a fully functioning spinning wheel that turns raw fiber into yarn. Maurice Ribble, who founded the company behind this device, created it so he could get more people in the habit of the spinning yard.
Not only is the EEW2 quiet, but it is also affordable, portable, and easy to use. The affordable price and its mobile design are the two main factors that have already attracted new and experienced spinners.
Maurice has made many improvements on the second model based on feedback from buyers of the first editions. The changes included are a more powerful motor and a tension dial. The engine now reaches 1100 RPMs, and its tension dial reduces tangles and over spinning.
