Oh my goodness, this is such an obvious, simple fix! Now I'll know what to do next time!

I had almost exactly the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago 5 minutes before the start of Maker Faire (I was supposed to do 2 solid days of spinning demonstration – heaven!) After a moment's panic, we loosened the screw (mine snapped at the top), cleared the old plastic out of the wood, reinserted the rest of it and tightened the screw about halfway. I expected it to spin oddly as the conrods were now different lengths (by almost 1/2 inch), but I found no noticible difference. It felt the same and worked just fine for the rest of the weekend without any further snafus.

I like Spinnables too but it doesn't surprise me that wordsmith Sonia came up with such awesome names.

Hugs on breaking the wheel but yay to finding else something else to do in the time.

While weaving I've broken treadles and threads – the treadles are easy to fix – merely a matter of retying the cord that holds the treadle but broken threads are evil and require much trickier to fix…

Ha! Try telling people you're going to a "fiber festival" - they tend to think you're really into nutrition!
I like Spinnables - it sounds...snack-able! Like tasty little morsels of spinning goodnes!

Thanks!
