Details
The Little Gem is Majacraft's folding wheel, built for spinning away from home. It folds flat into its own carry bag, and it's still a full height wheel that spins like a full-sized one, with an easy rolling treadle action. The head turns and lifts, then locks, so you can point the flyer where you want it.
In the box
- The wheel, folded in its carry bag, with the head packed in a side pocket
- Delta flyer, quick change, with a sliding hook
- Three plastic bobbins
- Travel Kate, a lazy kate that holds two bobbins up to jumbo, with bars that slide out so it packs small
- Carry bag in Majacraft green, with two short handles and a shoulder strap

Spare bobbins and add-ons
- More plies. Three bobbins and the Travel Kate make a two-ply, and spares are the same Standard Plastic Bobbin. A three-ply wants a fourth bobbin to ply onto and the Universal Tensioned Lazy Kate, which holds three.
- Fine and lace weight. Majacraft lists the High Speed Pulley up to 20.4:1 on the Little Gem.
- Bulky art yarn. The Little Gem Wild Flyer Kit adds a ceramic orifice of about 1 in, a jumbo bobbin, and a small tension knob that clears the bigger flyer.
Every other part and accessory that fits it is in Majacraft Little Gem Parts and Accessories.
Every Majacraft wheel is in Majacraft Spinning Wheels.
- Rose, the spoked wheel with a carrier that's a lazy kate.
- Suzie, the original double treadle wheel, for everyday spinning.
- Suzie Professional, with the E-Flyer and fast pulley for lace weight.
- Luna, mostly bamboo, with full spinning dimensions in a compact frame.
- Aura, double drive and a hybrid flyer for art yarn.
- Aura Overdrive, high-volume art yarn on a five liter bobbin.
