SPINNING WHEELS
Suzie
Suzie, the original Majacraft double-treadle spinning wheel, spins like a dream and is crafted in attractive New Zealand Rimu. The drive wheel is MDF with a Rimu veneer, making the drive wheel both heavy for easier spinning, yet stable in changing climates while the Rimu veneer matches the colour and style of the overall spinning wheel.
All Majacraft spinning accessories fit on the Suzie making it very versatile.
Suzie Professional
The Suzie Professional is our premiere Suzie design. It is based on the standard Suzie however we have included extra accessories to really fit with the professional name.
Little Gem
The Little Gem is Majacraft’s folding wheel designed for using while travelling. It is especially useful for those who need to transport their spinning wheel, but it still retains all the smoothness and capacity to cater for all types of spinning.
Luna
The Luna is designed to be both excellent to spin on and aesthetically beautiful. It has a very unique design and is crafted primarily in bamboo to create a look like no other. It has been developed over several years in collaboration with Suzy Brown and is now ready to be shared with the world.
Rose
The Rose is a classic wheel for every spinner. With its spoked wheel and engraved rose motif, it is elegant with a traditional feel. It is super-easy to use and yet still has the ability to carry out any spinning technique you can imagine.
The Rose has lines that are beautifully smooth and elegant. The motif has been redesigned by Tauranga artist Sharon O’Callaghan and the whole wheel has a very romantic feel to it. It is simple to assemble, easy to use and very reliable. The Majacraft Rose is a wheel you will treasure for years to come.
Aura
The Majacraft Aura is our innovative double drive wheel.
Designed from the ground up, the Aura has modern style and presence while still retaining the classic Majacraft look. It has two independent drive bands, one for the flyer and a second for the bobbin. The flyer drive has three different ratios and the bobbin drive has two ratios plus infinite adjustment. This design allows the spinner to have very precise control over the draw of the yarn on to the bobbin.
The hybrid flyer is all new and builds on the advances Majacraft has made in the past. It shares the aerodynamic shape of our other flyers for efficient and easy spinning. 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!
Aura with Overdrive Head
The Aura with Overdrive Head drive brings high volume spinning to Majacraft wheels in a new way.
Suzy Brown of Woolwench provided much of the impetus and encouragement to complete the development of the Overdrive. She also carried out a lot of testing during the development process to help perfect the design. Majacraft has been thinking about large capacity bobbins for many years and we think this solution is exceptional.
By building the Overdrive as an accessory head, it will turn your existing Majacraft spinning wheel into a production style wheel. The secret sauce of the Overdrive is using the Aura hybrid style double drive to power it. This means that the bobbin is directly driven so it does not suffer from inertial issues when the bobbin is filled. It is light and responsive to spin with right to the finish.
If you are curious about the capacity of the bobbins for the Overdrive head, they hold five litres of yarn (over a gallon!). This is five times more yarn than the Majacraft Jumbo bobbins.
The Overdrive has been designed to fit not only on the double drive Aura but it will also work with the Rose and Suzie/Suzie Professional.
