Product Details: |
It's novel, it's small, it's very portable. The Majacraft Little Gem 2 breaks some new ground in spinning wheels and comes packed in its own thermal carry bag. What's special about it It follows the concept of the accelerated wheel. Instead of being driven by rods connected to the treadles, the wheel is belt driven from a small crank between the treadles.
At any given speed, the Gem wheel rotates at around one and a half times faster than a normal wheel. The treadles operate on a unique rolling action over the crank, entirely different from the up and down action of conventional treadles. The head portion is separate from the main stem and is able to be raised and turned to suit the spinner. This is a major development in design where the spinner can feed the fibre straight into the orifice rather than moving the hands or body to suit the direction of the wheel.
The Little Gem 2 is very easy to assemble and dis-assemble, the wheel and lower stem folding down over the pedals after the head has been removed. However it can also be carried or stored folded flat with the head assembly turned to the side. Ratios are 4.5, 6, 8.5, 10.5 and 12.75 to 1. Weight: 10 lbs. Wheel diameter; 8.25". Wheel construction is New Zealand rimu high density fibreboard with solid rimu face. Finished in hardwearing precatalysed lacquer. Flyer shaft and wheel are mounted on sealed roller bearings. Delta orifice on flyer. Orifice height is adjustable from 26 to 28". Polycord drive band and Scotch tension.
Includes 3 plastic boilable bobbins, carry bag and 2-bobbin Lazy Kate. Options and bobbins are the same as for Rose and Suzie. Extra whorls and flyers available. All wheels are numbered, assembled and tested before packaging. Free shipping within the continental US.
