Majacraft Bobbins
Majacraft Bobbin, Plastic – Jumbo
Canadian shipping only. Majacraft's new plastic Jumbo Bobbin is made from molded plastic, specially chosen to minimize the sound made by the tension string in the bobbin groove as well as to decrease the weight. Also available in a wood version.. Launched in late 2020.
The Jumbo or Plying bobbin has a large capacity and can be used in conjunction with a Plying Flyer, Wild Flyer or Aura Flyer -- they don't fit on the regular standard flyer. They will contain up to two standard bobbins of yarn when plying or will allow you to spin longer yarns when using it to make art yarns. All the new Majacraft bobbins will now work on the Aura wheel.
In their words:
"Cutouts in the end plates decrease the weight plus allow you to observe your yarn on the bobbin when spinning. Because ABS is a slightly softer plastic, we did not want them to wear out quicker so have managed to integrate some high quality and very durable polymer bearings inside the bobbin. They are tricky to see but we promise you they are there! We have also added drive pin holes so the plastic bobbins will now work on the Aura."

Majacraft Bobbin, Wood – Lace
Canadian shipping only. Majacraft's new wooden Lace Bobbin is made using laser-cut bamboo ply with 3d printed rings and fibreglass tubes. The new design minimizes the sound made by the tension string in the bobbin groove and allows you to see your yarn as you spin, through the cutout ends. All the new Majacraft bobbins will now work on the Aura wheel. Launched in late 2020.
In Majacraft's words:
"The Lace Bobbins have been created to spin very fine lace weight yarns. The special thin wall fibreglass cores make for very light bobbins and will allow you to have extra sensitive brake adjustment. This is essential for lace spinning. By combining this bobbin with our lace flyers you will be able to spin at very high speeds with ease. These bobbins have a “fat” core to reduce the “yarn-to-bobbin angle” and hence the tension on the yarn as you spin (to prevent unnecessary breakage of fine yarns)."

Majacraft Bobbin, Wood – Overdrive
Canadian shipping only. Majacraft's new wooden Overdrive Bobbin is made using laser-cut bamboo ply with 3d printed rings and fibreglass tubes. The new design minimizes the sound made by the tension string in the bobbin groove and allows you to see your yarn as you spin, through the cutout ends. All the new Majacraft bobbins will now work on the Aura wheel. Launched in late 2020.
PLEASE NOTE: this bobbin will not fit the regular wheels without the overdrive head.
In Majacraft's words:
"Our bobbins don’t get any bigger than this. They use the same construction techniques as other wooden Majacraft bobbins to fit on the Overdrive head and hold five litres of yarn (over a gallon!). This is five times more yarn than the Majacraft Jumbo bobbins. They run on a different size flyer axle so will only fit on the Overdrive Head."
