Majacraft Overdrive Head
The Majacraft Overdrive Head makes it possible to effortlessly spin high volumes on your Majacraft wheel without any interruptions. No need changing bobbins when you’re prone to playing yarn chicken either. And tailspinning for your own varafeldur, go for it! If art yarns are your passion, that’s just another reason to go for this big baby!
The overdrive head is available for the Aura, Rose or Suzie.
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. Large capacity bobbins have been on Majacraft’s bucket list for many years and I think everyone finds this solution exceptional.
By building the Overdrive as an accessory head, you can 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 end.
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 Majacraft Overdrive Head has been designed to fit not only on the double drive Aura but it will also work with the Rose and Suzie/Suzie Professional.
