The MajaCraft Aura spinning wheel is an innovative double drive wheel, with a modern style and presence yet still retaining the classic Majacraft look.
The Overdrive model comes with the Overdrive Head, allowing fibre artists to create magic “big time”, making and filling the giant-sized bobbin with loads of bulky and textured yarns.
Our bobbins don’t get any bigger than this. They use the same construction techniques as other wooden Majacraft bobbins to fit on the Overdrive head and hold five litres of yarn (over a gallon!). This is five times more yarn than the Majacraft Jumbo bobbins. They run on a different size flyer axle so will only fit on the Overdrive Head.
The magic touch 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.
The Aura 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 the 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!
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.
As with all other Majacraft wheels we have worked to make it as compatible as possible with all accessories. The Aura will fit all existing Majacraft flyers. It fits all wood bobbins produced after April 2010 and the latest standard and jumbo plastic bobbins. There are three jumbo wooden bobbins included with the Aura. If you choose the Aura with Overdrive head comes with
You may also want to choose the Aura with the High Speed Head or choose the Standard Aura with jumbo flyer, or the Aura with the Overhead drive, and add the High Speed Head as an extra to increase your arsenal of tools!
And if you are a serious lace spinner, to make that set super efficient, a lace flyer kit will be indispensible! The lace kit comes with 2 lace bobbins included. But do add a baby bobbin, so you can ply your lace right there on the lace flyer! The standard bobbins are too big for the lace flyer! The advantages of the lace flyer makes it indispensible for any serious spinner, so ensuring you have all the perfect tools for the job at hand, is a given!
Sorry, I just couldn’t leave it, dearies! While you’re on a roll and you’re going to commit to this move that is guaranteed to change your path going forward in life, there is one other indispensible piece of equipment that all fellow fibre-fundi’s/spinning addicts just HAVE to get, it’s in our blood, passed on through the ages and previous lifetimes… I am ofcourse talking about that ancient ‘magical mystery tool’, dearies! The stylus spinning kit with the old-fahioned spindle! And never fear, this one won’t put you to sleep, but do take care, it could poke an eye out!
If you are just setting out on your spinning journey, and you want to start with everything you need, another must-have is a tensioned lazy kate. This will allow you to effortlesly create anything from georgeous art yarns, to feather-light lace yarns! You will also need a Niddy Noddy to get the yarn off your bobbins, and a Skeiner!
To help you in blending your fabulous fibre preps, Majacraft Hand Carders, mini wool combs and a hackle cannot lack in your arsenal! And if you are serious about going all the way from the start, the ultimate in fibre prepping equipment has got to be the drum carder with it’s interchangeable drums! Or at least the blending board so you can make your own delectable rolags!
