The Latest News...I am now the New Zealand Distributor for Ertoel Wheels.
The Roberta Electronic Spinner is the "Rolls Royce" of Spinners.
I think it will be a great compliment to the wool, silk and fibre I supply.
Some highlights of the Roberta Electronic Spinner... The "Rolls Royce"of Spinners
1. Proven for over 37 years of production. Perfected in every detail over that time.
2. No need to stop all the time to make adjustments, as the bobbin fills up.
3. Very fast, with high speed plying. Everything is balanced, to prevent vibrations.
4. Bobbins never get worn out, or get noisy over time.
5. Built for commercial use. Proven by one owner, spinning up to 2 kg of fibre every working day for more than eight years, before a first service.
6. 10 year warranty on the motor. 12 month warranty on the whole spinner.
7. Superior gloss finish.
8. Irregular drafting creates no problem with the yarn breaking, and you can still get a good quality of yarn.( great for a beginner) No worries about hand foot coordination. Irish brake design.
9. Extremely versatile spinner. Use any type of fibre, and make any type of yarn. 3 controls to design a yarn. (not the usual two). The third is the hold back to the pull of the spinner. Light hold back creates a different yarn, to a hard hold back.
10.Our jumbo bobbins hold half a kilo. Spin on the regular bobbins and ply onto the jumbo, no joins or bobbin changes. Sliding hook on flyer.
