Akerworks Inc.

Akerworks Inc. We Like Making Things! Specifically, we like making things for knitting and spinning - yarn creation and management tools are kinda our thing :-)

We are a family-owned and operated business based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Our work focuses on modern, mechanically inventive gadgets, accessories, and musical instruments meant to foster imagination while functioning as beautiful objects. Akerworks thrives by applying a high quality small batch manufacturing methodology to an enormous range of product types. We love to make products that improve

all aspects of our lives, and we want to share those with you. This is how we do it: when we make one for ourselves, we leave ourselves enough breadcrumbs that, when you see it and love it, we can make another one like the first. So you can have and use and love one of your own.

(reposting to fiber friends!) Afflamed maple, not flame maple 😂 I love it. Ot's essentially got the same finish as a normal Kate, now that we've buffed it out and spray finished on top of the burnt surface. But it's definitely not normal. Hat tip to Ed, the craftsperson who was with us for so many years, and who always always wanted to try this approach on our products. This feels like a great example of a look that is not for everyone… But for some people it might really light their fire! Which are you?

Odd how you can never know for sure something‘s a good idea… But it can be immediately evident when something’s a bad idea. At a time when a lot of important things are aflame, let’s try to conjure some beauty from combustion.

Would you trust the management of your precious singles to a whacky piece of wood like this??

FAILURE! Which is a good thing: when you launch a product that works great in 90+% of scenarios… it’s up to customers to find the bummers. Our testers have risen to the role, however, and found those bummers early 😆 They’ve really done an awesome job- check out the chat in our Ravelry group if you haven’t yet. Don’t worry, this failure can be designed around. When this launches it will be a mature and well-shaken-down skeiner/swift. That fits in your pocket. Almost.
