A quick video of my fiber transfer setup. Please excuse the mess of my Fiber Corner that is still under construction!
Here I'm transferring the 2:1 TM/Espresso merino from the EEW 6.1 bobbin to the cone winder via the yarn counter. According to the counter, the whole bobbin had 319 yards. After accounting for the weight of the cone, this was 63g of singles.
The nice thing about the EEW system is that I was then able to wind off of this blue cone onto the two others, again via the counter, but this time automatically set to stop at 105 yd. This resulted in 3 cones with exactly 21g yarn each!
Oddly, the EEW cones don't have adapters for the EEW Lazy Kate, so I have to improvise there. (EEW Nano bobbins + chopsticks! See the previous post.) but all together it makes an efficient system.

@Paws2Spindle@sunny.garden I was about to ask about your cone winding setup, as I’m doing more weaving being able to put my handspun on cones is becoming a thing I want to do more of, but I’m flummoxed that there’s not “manual” tools (everything seems to be min $200 electric, no equivalents of my hand-crank ballwinder or bobbin winder to be found) Neat setup tho! (Sorry if this feels like I’m grumping at you, that’s not the intent)
