I Have Always Depended on the Kindness of Strangers.

Update #9 · Apr 6, 2012 · 5 comments

The darndest thing happened; thanks to a few interested people who heard about the project after the Kickstarter per se closed, we've been able to order another printer to help with producing the spindles. It'll be another five or so weeks before it comes - and our first production printer will be here in about two weeks - so we won't be ramping up to full speed quite as fast as we'd like, but after those five weeks, the spindles ought to be just flying out of here. In fact - and I don't want to promise anything definite until we get everything in hand, but the odds are good - we may very well have enough production capacity to throw something extra into each order. If you've ever been annoyed at a tool used in handspinning or knitting, drop us a line; if we can figure out a way to make it better, you might just find one in your hands in a month or two.
