Majacraft's Little Gem2- Majacraft's Little Gem is a state of the art traveling folding wheel. It is especially for use by those who need to transport a spinning wheel to club and conference functions but has the capability to cater for all types of spinning.

The Little Gem easily handles tasks of spinning and plying wool, mohair, silk etc. The Little Gem, although small and incredibly light (around 4kgs or 10lbs), is a full height with attractive design.

NEWS! WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU CAN SLIP THE DRIVE BELT ONTO THE FLYER SHAFT TO OBTAIN VERY FAST SPEEDS ON THIS WHEEL!!!!!!! AND you can also order a custom made Fast Whorl for it!
When the little Gem was developed we used entirely different principles to other spinning wheels. The Little Gem has been two years in design and development and has been used to work with the finest of fibers to coarse wools. The small wheel lies at the heart of the design and instead of being driven by rods connected to the pedals, the wheel is belt driven from a small crank between the pedals. This allows us to spin the wheel at any given speed, the Gem wheel rotates at around one and a half times faster than a normal wheel. It also allows the wheel to be folded down to be transported. The pedals operate on a unique rolling action over the crank, entirely different to the up and down action of conventional pedals.The head portion is separate to the main stem and is able to be raised and turned to suit the spinner. This is a major development in design where the spinner can feed the fibre straight into the orifice rather than moving the hands or body to suit the direction of the wheel.
This wheel is extremely light, weighing around 4 kilos but is very stable on any surface. Best of all, it comes in its own thermal carry bag.The Little Gem is very easy to assemble and disassemble, the wheel and lower stem folding down over the pedals after the head has been removed. However it can also be carried or stored folded flat with the head assembly turned to the side.

All new Suzie wheels will have rubber feet fitted as on the Rose and the Little Gem. This has been done in response to spinners with polished wooden floors! This also has the advantage of keeping the wheel more firmly positioned while spinning.
The second change is probably the most important. The Suzie drive wheel is now a flat rimu veneer covered wheel made from medium density fiber board. It has an attractive design routered onto both the front and back and looks quite stunning. We can also supply it with the design highlighted in dark brown. All of our first wheels of this design were highlighted but it was felt by some that the plain design blended better with modern decor. We will do both.
The advantages are that it provides a very stable wheel in all climates and temperatures, even the American winter when our laminated wheels are put to the test by the warm furnaces and dehumidifers.
It is also of similar weight to the professional wheel, however we will not drop the professional from our range as some customers prefer a plain green wheel.
Optional: Slow Whorl: Ratios from 3:1 to 11:1 $ 34.95
