Details
The Luna is Majacraft's bamboo wheel, developed over several years with Suzy Brown. Its drive wheel is reoriented inside a wrap-around spine, which makes it very stable to spin on, and the angled flyer shaft keeps the frame compact. The pedal angle, pedal separation and spinning height are the same as Majacraft's other wheels.

Spare bobbins and add-ons
- Plying. Four bobbins make a three-ply, three full and one to ply onto, and the Universal Tensioned Lazy Kate holds the three. Spares are the same Standard Plastic Bobbin as the four in the box.
- Fine and lace weight. Majacraft lists the High Speed Pulley up to 19.4:1 on the Luna.
- Bulky art yarn. The Aura Hybrid Flyer Kit puts the Aura's flyer on the Luna, with a halo orifice of about 1 in and pigtail guides for anything bigger.
Every other part and accessory that fits it is in Majacraft Luna 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.
- For art yarn, the Aura's double drive and hybrid flyer spin anything that pulls through its large halo orifice.
- The Aura Overdrive carries a five liter bobbin for high-volume art yarn.
