Product Details

The Little Gem II is a Majacraft folding wheel designed for travel use. It's especially useful for those who need to transport their spinning wheel, but it has the capability and smoothness to cater for all types of spinning.

The Little Gem II comes with three bobbins and a custom-made shoulder bag in Majacraft green. It also includes a Travel Kate, so plying is a breeze while you are out and about.

The Little Gem II is very suitable for use while on vacation or away from home as it can be folded flat and transported in the special carry bag made for this wheel. The bag has a easy to use carry handle as well as a shoulder strap.

While the Little Gem II is both compact and light (approximately 5kg / 12lbs -- this can vary with the wood), it easily handles tasks of spinning and plying the likes of wool, mohair, silk and so on. The Little Gem II is a full height wheel with attractive and unique design.

Little Gem II features:

  • Double treadles
  • Three (3) bobbins included
  • Quick change flyer
  • No-oiling sealed bearings
  • Sliding flyer hook
  • Sensitive scotch tension construction
  • Laminated bamboo drive wheel that has plenty of inertia and looks great
  • Extremely portable
  • Spins like a full-sized wheel with an easy rolling treadle action
  • Compatible bobbins and flyers with Majacraft wheels and accessories
  • Hand-crafted in New Zealand from Rimu wood

The new 2020 models of the Little Gem include a number of improvements, including:

  • Tension knob position has moved down slightly so large flyers will fit with the standard tension knob
  • Stem lock bolt has moved to the front of the stem and changed shape, so it is easier to turn
  • Slider knob (for locking the stem upright) is now stainless steel and stronger
  • Cast bracket for the stem stop is now adjustable and makes the wheel much more rigid
  • Larger bearings added to drive wheel, enabling use of a larger and stronger axle.
