Majacraft Aura Spinning Wheel – In stock
Nov 15/22 - currently in stock.
Canadian shipping only. Generally IN STOCK, we try to have an Aura in the box and available for shipping. FREE SHIPPING in Canada, by Expedited Ground post.
Price includes the wheel and three JUMBO wooden bobbins.
The Aura offers a new way of looking at double drives and a new way of looking at spinning. This wheel is a collaboration between Majacraft and the very accomplished spinner Pluckyfluff.
Designed from the ground up, the Aura has new style and presence while still retaining the classic Majacraft look. It has two independent drive bands, one for the flyer and a second for the bobbin. The flyer drive has three different ratios and the bobbin drive has two ratios plus infinite adjustment. Being so unique, the Aura requires new thinking about spinning and expressing your creativity. The potential is huge and when you are ready to explore everything that can be achieved in spinning then come and spend time with an Aura.
The flyer is all new and builds on the advances Majacraft has made in the past. It shares the aerodynamic shape of our other flyers for efficient and easy spinning. Most importantly it has a new dual function orifice. Fine yarns can be held still in the delta part of the orifice. This also has the function of holding coil yarns very still so you can observe your work. You can bypass the delta and use the large halo ring for spinning huge. With the new double drive, the Aura can spin anything that can be pulled through this orifice!
The new folding handle design has the grip in a new location and special bumpers on the handle to keep the spinning head away from the pedals when you fold it down.
As with all other Majacraft wheels, they have worked to make it as compatible as possible with all accessories. The Aura will fit all existing Majacraft flyers. It takes the NEW Jumbo bobbins with two special holes on one end, now standard starting spring 2011 for all Jumbos.

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."

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)."
