Built around a unique pigtail orifice, jumbo bobbins, and a set-and-forget double drive system, the Aura handles everything from textured art yarn to fine singles on one wheel. Handcrafted in New Zealand from sustainable Rimu wood.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"majacraft-aura-spinning-wheel","title":"Majacraft Aura Spinning Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Majacraft Aura is unlike anything else in the shop. Handcrafted in New Zealand from native Rimu with a solid bamboo drive wheel, each one is individually numbered, assembled, and tested by hand before it leaves the workshop. It is not mass production. It is a small family operation doing one thing extraordinarily well, and it shows in every detail. The finish is immaculate. The action is quiet and smooth. In person, people stop and stare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in collaboration with spinner, teacher, and author Lexi Boeger, known widely as Pluckyfluff, the Aura was designed from the ground up to handle everything. The modified double drive system runs two completely independent drive bands, one polycord driving the flyer, one non-stretchy Dacron driving the bobbin. You tell this wheel what you want, and it listens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hybrid jumbo flyer carries that versatility through to the orifice. The delta holds fine and coiled yarns perfectly still while you work. When you are ready to spin big, bypass the delta entirely and feed straight through the large halo ring. From cobweb laceweight to the most heavily textured art yarn you can imagine, the Aura handles it without complaint and without changing a single setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe folding handle collapses for transport with bumpers to protect the spinning head. Light enough to carry to your favorite chair, substantial enough to know you are sitting in front of something serious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid Jumbo Flyer with Dual-Function Orifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Jumbo Hand-Turned Wooden Bobbins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: New Zealand Rimu; Solid Bamboo Drive Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Hard-Wearing Pre-Catalysed Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive System: Modified Double Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive Bands: Polycord (Flyer) and Dacron (Bobbin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreadle: Double Treadle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearings: Sealed Roller Bearings Throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: All Majacraft Flyers; Wood Bobbins Post-April 2010; Current Standard and Jumbo Plastic Bobbins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approximately 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive Wheel Diameter: 13 In (330mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrifice Height: 29.5 In (750mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded Height: 21.7 In (550mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlyer Ratios\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aura's three flyer ratios cover more ground than they might appear to at first glance. On a scotch tension wheel, the ratio does most of the work of controlling both twist and take-up together, which is why a wider ratio range is necessary. On the Aura, the bobbin drive handles take-up completely independently, so even the slowest flyer ratio can produce fine laceweight yarn by dialing the bobbin tension down to almost nothing and letting twist accumulate freely. You are not choosing from three speeds so much as three starting points, each with a full range of take-up adjustment built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhorl\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGroove 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGroove 2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGroove 3\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.1:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.4:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe bobbin drive adds two additional groove positions plus infinite tension adjustment via the tension knob.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Add-Ons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpand your Aura with Majacraft's range of compatible accessories:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverdrive Head - Aura (for extremely bulky and heavily textured art yarn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLazy Kates - Universal Tensioned or Travelling (for dedicated plying setups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel Skeiner (attaches to the flyer shaft to wind skeins directly from the wheel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiddy Noddy (for winding handspun into skeins by hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLace Kit (optional whorl and flyer combination for dedicated fine and laceweight spinning)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in New Zealand.

Developed with input from Suzy Brown of Woolwench, who provided much of the drive behind its completion and carried out extensive testing during development, the Overdrive takes the Aura's acclaimed double drive system and pairs it with a bobbin so large it holds over a gallon of yarn. Five litres. Roughly five times the capacity of the already-generous Jumbo bobbin. This is production spinning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret to why it works at that size is the same double drive system that makes the standard Aura so responsive. The bobbin is directly driven rather than brake-controlled, which means it stays light and consistent right to the finish regardless of how full it gets. No inertia creep, no constant tension readjustment as the bobbin fills. You set it up, and it keeps behaving the same way from the first yard to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the standard Aura, the Overdrive head uses the hybrid double drive tensioning system with independent control over the strength and speed of the draw. It is not purely a bulky yarn tool. The same tension flexibility that makes the Aura capable of laceweight applies here, though most spinners will reach for the Overdrive when they want to spin large quantities of textured, bulky, or art yarn without stopping to wind off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important practical note: standard Majacraft accessories do not fit the Overdrive head due to the larger flyer axle. The Overdrive Tensioned Lazy Kate is purpose-built for this head and is the right companion for plying at this scale.
