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 fiber straight into the orifice rather than moving the hands or body to suit the direction of the wheel.

"I just got one of these little wheels from a friend. I LOVE it! It's easy to spin on, it's easy to break down & pack in the carry bag. That bag is so easy to carry! All your roving & any other items fit into the large pockets inside the bag. I'm very happy with this purchase."
"Once I got some help from another Little Gem user, I had no problems. I would have appreciated more instructions in set-up for spinning and plying."
"This is a great, little wheel. It’s a delight to spin on, and is very well-made. It’s easy to set up and break down. The only thing I don’t like, is the green drive bands leave green granules on the wood (rub off). It’s easy enough to wipe off, but is annoying. Otherwise it’s fantastic."
"Easy to set up and I was spinning within minutes. It has already been on several outings to spin group and is easy to transport. Truly enjoying it."
"I’ve been using my little gem almost every day for 6 years. I can do anything from superfine silk to tte bulkiest rug yarn. It sling smooth as butter and whisper quiet. The delta flyer is awesome. Don’t be out off by this being advertised as a travel wheel. It’s certainly more than capable for everything I’ve done on it. Plus, majacraft has a bunch of attachments and kits that fit all their wheels."
"Sweet little wheel. Learning more about as I use. Packs up very nicely"
