Majacraft 

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.

Suzie "Professional"

The Suzie "Professional"
Majacraft also produces a professional model with a green wheel and whorl. This wheel is about 10% heavier and slightly larger than the Suzie wheel. It gives smoother spinning with greater inertia and is a favourite of many spinners. $789.00

Little Gem Spinning Wheel
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.

Our Little Gem requires you to part company with pre conceived ideas
about spinning wheels. Majacraft threw the rule book away! This design of
this wheel is a revolutionary new concept.

$729. includes Spinning Wheel Bag

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.

Trundlers:$ 123.Trundlers are designed to fit your Suzie and Rose wheel. The wheel is slotted in for easy transport. The trundler is crafted from beautiful New Zealand Rimu.

New Rose Carrier $137
The Bobbin Box that comes with each new Rose spinning wheel is going to be replaced with our new Bobbin Carrier. The bobbin bars are slightly angled upward so the bobbins will not slide off. There is a small bar for storing your spare whorl on. It has an elegant handle.A magnet in the carrier that you can hold the allen key for the whorl.

Majacraft Stool - $175

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.
