The Little Gem is the Majacraft folding wheel designed for using while traveling. It is especially useful for those who need to transport their spinning wheel but has the capability and smoothness to cater for all types of spinning. The Little Gem comes with three bobbins and a custom-made shoulder bag in Majacraft green. We also include a traveling kate so plying is a breeze while you are out and about.
The Little Gem 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 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 is a full height wheel with attractive and unique design.
Some of the features of the Little Gem are:
- double treadle
- comes with three (3) bobbins
- quick change flyer

Please Note: While The Fibre Studio is an approved Majacraft dealer, we are primarily an indie dyer and do not keep a large variety of wheels and looms on hand. We order most of our spinning and weaving accessories on behalf of our customers; this process may take several weeks from initial order to final delivery.
