Spinning wheels from Majacraft. . .

The Aura, Little Gem, Suzie, Suzie Professional, Rose and Pioneer spinning wheels are in stock at Shuttleworks along with accessories and spare parts. Call for more information.

Majacraft spinning wheels offer a unique spinning experience, not only are they built to be beautiful and feature rich, but great care has been taken to ensure they are ergonomically designed to fit your body and your spinning style.

Because of the handwork required, every wheel is different and may not look exactly like the next wheel. They each have a different character and the charm of an individually crafted wheel.

Majacraft uses the highest quality materials available and include features such as:

• roller bearings
• stainless steel flyer shaft
• ultra smooth brass hinges for the pedals
• New Zealand Rimu wood that is matured and dried before manufacture
• flyer is balanced by hand to ensure that your wheel will spin smoothly at all speeds
• all wooden components receive three coats of lacquer and are hand rubbed between each coat
• variable spinning ratios so you can spin at any speed with no extra effort (typically 3:1-18:1)
• every spinning wheel is individually tested at different spinning speeds before leaving the factory
• personally signed by a member of our family and given a unique identification number

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.

Majacraft's latest wheel, the Aura, is a modified double drive. The spinning wheel was designed from the ground up, it has a style and presence of its own but retains the classic Majacraft look. This double drive wheel 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.

The new style flyer builds on the advances Majacraft has made over the years. It shares the aerodynamic shape of our other flyers for efficient and easy spinning. But most importantly it has a new dual function orifice. Fine yarns can be spun through the delta part of the orifice and can also hold coil yarns very still so you can observe your work. You can bypass the delta and use the large halo ring for spinning bulky. With the new modified double drive, the Aura can spin anything that can be pulled through this orifice.

The new folding handle design has the grip in a different location and has 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, it is designed to be as compatible as possible with all accessories. All Majacraft flyers and all wood bobbins produced after April 2010 will fit the Aura. There are three jumbo wooden bobbins included with the Aura.

This unique spinning wheel requires new thinking about spinning and expressing your spinning creativity. The potential is huge and when you are ready to explore what the Aura can do, come and spend some time test driving Majacraft's new wheel, the Aura, at Shuttleworks.

The Little Gem is a state of the art travelling folding wheel. It is especially useful for those who need to transport their spinning wheel. It has the capability and smoothness to cater to all types of spinning. It is fully packaged with three bobbins, its own thermal bag and a travelling kate.

Majacraft also produces the Suzie Professional model with a green lacquered MDF wheel and whorl. This wheel is heavier and slightly larger than the rimu veneer drive wheel of the standard Suzie. It gives smoother spinning with greater inertia and is a favourite of many spinners.

The standard Suzie is Majacraft's original double-treadle spinning wheel. It spins beautifully and is crafted in attractive New Zealand Rimu. All Majacraft spinning accessories fit on the Suzie making it very versatile.

The Pioneer was designed by Majacraft to be a highly affordable spinning wheel - but they have been careful not to compromise the functionality that Majacraft wheels are renowned for. As with all Majacraft wheels all accessories will fit on the Pioneer. You can add specialist spinning equipment if you wish to pursue different styles of spinning. The wide range of ratios, a versatile Delta Flyer and easy to use Scotch Tension System will make spinning a dream! The head can be adjusted in a similar way to the Little Gem so you can customise the orifice position to fit your style and body.
