- Page 2 Congratulations on purchasing the Daedalus Roly-Poly, and welcome to the Flock. We at Daedalus couldn’t be more thrilled that you decided to trust us with your fiber tool purchase. The Roly-Poly was designed to wind yarn balls effortlessly with the flip of a switch and the turn of a knob, but with a twist: it winds a nostepinne-style ball, not a standard cake.

- Page 4 Getting started Before operating, we highly recommend reading over the manual as well as watching our videos on how to use the Roly-Poly. Simply scan this QR code with your mobile device’s camera or go to https://www.youtube.com/@daedalusspinningwheels. Roly-Poly comes fully assembled and ready to start balling your yarn.
- Page 5 Decrease Speed Increase Speed Make sure the speed knob is turned all the way down (counterclockwise). Turn the toggle switch on and the core will begin to spin slowly. Now you can start turning up the speed knob just a bit, which allows the flyer to begin slowly wrapping the yarn around the core.

If you have a skein snag on your swift, turn off the switch on the Roly-Poly and turn the speed dial to zero. Then take one wrap off the core to create some slack in the yarn and clear the snag on the swift. - Page 8 All About Tension Tension (how tight the yarn is when being pulled into Roly-Poly) will affect the density of your ball. The speed you operate will influence tension, because at higher speeds, any given swift will have more drag. But a good, low-friction swift will still produce acceptably dense balls at higher speeds.
- Page 9 Getting to Know Your Roly-Poly Getting started, stay with slower speeds and feel free to keep the yarn going lightly through your hand. This way you are adding a little bit of “hand tension” and monitoring the apparent density of the ball.
- Page 10 Finishing When the ball is finished and you’ve turned it off, the first thing to do is to remove the yarn from the silver anchor screw. You can then slide the ball off of the carbon fiber core, or you can pull the 40mm core off with the ball, remove the ball and replace the core.

Page 15: Maintenance
To clean your Roly-Poly, please use a lint-free cloth. If needed, dampen the cloth with water only. Please do not use detergents or cleaners. Canned air is recommended for keeping crevices clean of fiber and yarn debris, but be certain to keep the can upright while spraying to avoid damaging the surface of your Roly-Poly. - Page 16 Lace Lace Fingering Sport 324g 102g 107g...

The Daedalus Battery uses an 18V 3amp power supply. Do not swap this power supply with any other power supply for any reason.

Please be mindful of your children and pets by keeping your winder unplugged from power when you are away from it. This ensures maximum safety when you step away from your winder.
