Details
The Suzie is Majacraft's original double treadle wheel, built in New Zealand Rimu with a laser-engraved New Zealand Clematis on the handle and drive wheel. Its drive wheel is MDF under a Rimu veneer, heavy for easier spinning and stable as the climate changes.
It's easy to learn on and spins well for an experienced spinner too. It takes every Majacraft flyer and pulley and every bobbin but the Overdrive, so it grows with your spinning.
In the box
- The wheel, spun on at Majacraft and partly taken down to ship, with the allen wrenches and hardware to finish it (you'll need a Pozidriv screwdriver)
- Delta flyer, an easy-threading flyer for everyday spinning
- Four plastic bobbins, with storage for two more on the wheel

Spare bobbins and add-ons
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 21.3:1 on the Suzie, for lace and silk.
- Plying. The Universal Tensioned Lazy Kate holds three bobbins of any Majacraft size but the Overdrive, jumbos included, so the four in the box make a three-ply.
- Bulky art yarn. The Wild Flyer Kit adds a ceramic orifice of about 1 in and a jumbo bobbin for longer runs of thick yarn.
- Production batches. The Suzie Overdrive Head runs with the Suzie Overdrive Bobbin Drive Band. It takes five liter Overdrive Bobbins.
- Travel. The Rose, Suzie and Aura Storage Bag zips down the front, with a top flap for the wheel's own handle.
Every other part and accessory that fits it is in Majacraft Suzie Parts and Accessories.
