New Majacraft Aura
spinning wheel-byLexi Boeger & Majacraft
 |
The
Aura is here! A new way of looking at double drives and a new way
of looking at spinning. This wheel is a collaboration between Majacraft
and the very accomplished spinner Pluckyfluff.
The new folding handle design has the grip in a new location and special
bumpers on the handle to keep the spinning head away from the pedals
when you fold it down.
The Aura will fit all existing Majacraft flyers. It fits all wood
bobbins produced after There are three jumbo wooden bobbins included
with the Aura.
$960 intro price $900 |
 |
Most importantly
it has a new dual function orifice. Fine yarns can be held still in
the delta part of the orifice. This also has the function of holding
coil yarns very still so you can observe your work. You can bypass
the delta and use the large halo ring for spinning huge. With the
new double drive, the Aura can spin anything that can be pulled through
this orifice! |
|
I have tried out this
wheel to spin fine, medium and bulky. I also have worked with the
wheel to do all types of fiber and spinning yarns. I believe this
wheel is the answer to everyone who wishes to do all types of spinning
with out changing the flyers or the bobbins. This wheel is the answer
to all types of spinning. What a wonderful wheel for a beginner
or advanced or intermediate spinner.Get the Aura soon. If you own
one and can not figure it out call me I can help you. Big thumbs
up for this wheel.

New
Turkish Drop spindle
|


|
Majacraft Turkish
Spindle Set is a combination of simplicity, functionality
and beauty. The set includes three different Turkish spindles made
in New Zealand Rimu and weighted at 15g, 20g and 30g (0.5oz, 0.7oz
and 1oz). Spindles are an easy way into spinning and because Turkish
spindles collapse down flat, this is a set that you can take anywhere.
The 15g spindle is perfectly suited for very fine yarns while the
20g and 30g spindles are great general purpose spindles.
We have included a fabric
bag to keep your shaft and three spindles arms safe while you travel
with them.

Our Little Gem is a state of the art travelling
folding wheel. It is especially for use by those who need
to transport a spinning wheel to club and conference functions
but has the capability to cater for all types of spinning.
The Little Gem is very suitable for use while on vacation
or away from home and can be transported folded flat but assembled
or in the special carry bag made for this wheel. The Little
Gem easily handles tasks of spinning and plying wool, mohair,
silk etc. The Little Gem, although small and incredibly light
(around 4kgs or10lbs), is a full height with attractive design.

ideas
about spinning wheels. Majacraft threw the rule book away!

this wheel is a revolutionary new concept.

Majacraft High
Speed Head- $172
We have "geared
up" a spinning head so that it is possible to spin at
ratios up to 32:1.on the Suzie on the Rose it is a 46:1. If
you are interested in lace or cotton spinning.A
lace kit is a perfect compliment to the high speed head as
the small flyers rotate very freely due to their low rotational
inertia.
|
 |
The Lace Kit
includes two lace bobbins and a lace E-Flyer. $ 141The
lace bobbins have a "fat" core that reduces the
tension on the yarn as you spin. The lace E-Flyer and E-Hook
have hard-wearing ceramic inserts. The ceramic has a very
low friction coefficient so the spun yarn glides effortlessly
through the guides.

Majacraft
Stylus $58
The major benefit
of a Stylus is that it allows you to put a lot of twist into
a yarn so is particularly suited to lace weight yarns. The
outcome of this huge amount of twist means that it is possible
to spin a lot of yarn much more quickly than with a traditional
flyer.
The stylus will
work perfectly well immediately on your wheel but to really
take advantage of the features, we recommend using a fast
whorl or alternatively a high speed head.

Spinning on a Majacraft is one of the most satisfying experiences
you can have as a spinner. I like the Millie for its small and compact
style and it's beauty.
I like the Rose for it has a large wheel to make it easy to
spin. Goes fast and is very smooth.
I like the Gem for its quick fold down style and carrying case.
The Suzie is nice and folds easy. Get it in Green with the professional
style.
The saxony is for those who like a traditional looking wheel.
