Hey, everybody exciting announcement. As of last night, I finally finished getting all of this layaway stuff finished on the back end of my website and emailed it out to tell everybody. So I want to tell everybody here on the podcast. Crafty housewife yarns, now, as far as I know, are the exclusive place to find layaway for SpinOluiotn Spinning Wheels. I'm excited about this because I love layaway and I love spinolution spinning wheels. So the two together are great!
We have been offering layaway with our wheels since I became a dealer, but it always had to be through PayPal. I think PayPal has evolved a bit since then, but it used to be something where the person had to remember to make the payments, or I had to remember to send them invoices and it was a, it was a big mess.
As we've grown, I don't have the bandwidth to keep up with people. So I wanted something easy that was on our site because I know I love it when I"m online shopping and I can select to get a bigger package or better deal and then pay it off in installments.
I know with the cost, I feel like everything going up, I didn't want people to feel like they couldn't get one of these spinning wheels.
So I was hoping that this might make it a little bit more accessible to somebody that didn't want to put it on a credit card. You can check out all the details on our website. So here are all the reasons why I just love SpinOlution Spinning Wheels and wanted everyone to be able to have one, no matter how you needed to pay it off.
They are made in America, which I think is even more ex just super-duper important these days. Mike, the owner & designer, depending on when you're hearing this and I'll probably do another blog on this another day, but one of the major supply chain issues that as a dealer was very frustrating for me last year was we would have hold-ups on being able to ship out some of the wheels. The wheel would be 90% done because all of the wood and the work and everything's done stateside. But then some of the little metal parts like the golden whorls or something, we would be waiting on those to get delivered. So it's like you literally had the last little bit of something that you needed in order to finish the wheel, to send to the customers. So by moving to make basically all of the parts even the little parts here in the USA we can not only support local industry but provide better customer service by not having to wait on supplies from overseas.
I love the fact that they are all Baltic Birch from California, I think is wonderful. And that's one of the reasons I think there are such beautiful wheels is they're just really unique the way the wood is cut and layered and put together to make the unique, thick, ergonomic wheel parts They are also made out of solid wood so it's not particleboard wood or filler or anything like that.
They have a wide range of bobbin sizes and features. The big bobbins and the open face orifice make it very accessible that way while having the fastest spinning ratios, meaning that you can spend very fine easily because you've got a really smooth and really quick spinning ratio at the same time. And then the really lightweight 3d printed bobbins,four-ounce and eight-ounce bobbins really are great for fine spinning. You end up having the wheel range options where you can really go between the really big and the really fast I definitely think this is what sets these wheels apart.
They come fully assembled. I know I've talked before was about how my first wheel was a different brand and it literally came in a flat box, like what you would get a puzzle in. And it basically was puzzle-like I had to fully assemble the entire thing and then varnish it. And I mean, when you are a new spinner and you have no clue what you're doing, no matter how simple the wheel design is, you kind of feel like, did I put this together, right? Is this gonna actually make yarn? Did I do it wrong? And now I'm gonna be working against myself. You know, there are definitely concerns there.
