Majacraft Aura Overdrive Spinning Wheel

Details

The Aura Overdrive is the Aura with Majacraft's Overdrive head, built for high-volume spinning. Its bobbin holds five liters of yarn, over a gallon and five times a Majacraft jumbo, and the Aura's double drive turns that bobbin directly, so it stays light and responsive right to the finish. Suzy Brown of Woolwench drove much of its development and testing.

The tension knob sets the strength of the pull and the pairing of grooves sets its speed, so it takes shaggy tailspun and big add-ins on a strong pull and lace on a weak, slow one.

In the box

• The Aura, built and spun on at Majacraft, then partly taken down to ship, with the three allen wrenches and the hardware to finish it (you'll need a Pozidriv screwdriver)
• Overdrive spinning head with its hybrid Overdrive flyer
• One Overdrive bobbin
• Green flyer band and black bobbin band

Spare bobbins and add-ons

Spares are the same Overdrive Bobbin as the one in the box.

• Plying. A two-ply wants two full Overdrive bobbins and a third to ply onto, and the Overdrive Lazy Kate holds two, with sliding flyer hooks as yarn guides you set where each yarn draws off best.

Parts and accessories for the Aura wheel are in Majacraft Aura Parts and Accessories.

Majacraft's other six wheels are in Majacraft Spinning Wheels.

• The Rose is the spoked wheel, with a carrier that doubles as a lazy kate.
• The Suzie is Majacraft's original double treadle wheel.
• The Suzie Professional adds the E-Flyer and the fast pulley, for fine and lace weight yarn.
• The Little Gem folds flat into its own carry bag.
• The Luna, mostly bamboo, keeps the same spinning dimensions in a compact frame.
• For art yarn on its standard head, the Aura is the same double drive wheel with three jumbo bobbins.
