MAJACRAFT WHEELS
  • Delivery on all Majacraft wheels is approximately 2-3 weeks.
  • Majacraft double treadle wheels are designed to allow the spinner to sit in a relaxed, natural position with a straight back and no twisting of the spine.
  • Most Majacraft wheels have an adjustable spinning head for left or right handed spinning.
  • The adjustable orifice height is comfortable for spinners of all statures.
  • Majacraft spinning wheels are capable of spinning all types of fibre and at production speeds. They are durable and require very little maintenance.
  • Majacraft spinning wheels are easy to learn on and are also suitable for the advanced spinner.
  • Majacraft spinning wheels are made from New Zealand Rimu, a beautiful native wood.
  • Every wheel is spun on at the factory before dispatch to ensure smooth, easy performance.
  • Each wheel carries a two year manufacturer’s guarantee.
  • Plastic bobbins come standard with all wheels. They are reversible, have a very large capacity and are suitable for washing fibres directly on the bobbin. Traditional wooden bobbins are available (contact us).
