"If you are using a Majacraft Suzie or Rose then we recommend a High Speed Head. This will allow you to spin at speeds up to 32:1 - High Speed Head\n
\n"+
"We also offer a Fast Whorl that fits all Majacraft wheels. While not as quick as a High Speed Head, it will allow you to spin at very high speeds - Fast Whorls\n
\n"+
"A Lace Kit might also help. It includes two lace bobbins, and a Lace E-System - Lace Kit\n
\n"+
"If you are planning on plying your lace, we also offer a Baby Bobbin Kit that has two baby bobbins and a lace flyer - Baby Bobbin Kit\n
\n"+
"A tensioned LazyKate so you get perfectly consistent plyed yarn - LazyKate"+
"
"+
"For general washed and carded wool, you can't go far wrong with the delta flyer and whorl that comes with your Majacraft wheel. The delta flyer is very, very easy to use and the ratios on the standard whorls have been chosen to be suited to as many fibre varieties as possible - Delta Flyer, Whorls\n
\n"+
"
"+
"Greasy wool is notoriously hard on spinning equipment and components can wear very quickly. We recommend an E-System with a 6mm or 10mm ceramic E-Hook. The ceramic guides are much more durable than pretty much any other hooks on the market. The large E-hook is better if you are wanting to spin bulkier yarns with your greasy fleece - E-System Flyer\n
\n"+
"If you are interested in washing the yarn on the bobbin, our plastic bobbins can be put into hot or even boiling water without any harm - Plastic Bobbins\n

"We have two suggestions for spinning the fine camelid fibres. If you are wanting a \"lofty\" result then a Suzie Slow Speed Kit will help you to spin really light and lofty yarns. Slow Speed Kit - Slow Speed Kit\n
\n"+
"However, because these fibres tend not to bind together the same as sheep's wool, you may find that your yarns are coming apart a bit. They are likely to need a bit more twist in them. If this is the case then the standard whorl on your Majacraft wheel is probably the best solution.\n
\n"+
"A Fine Flyer may also help. The small round brass orifice tends to be a little easier to use with finer yarns - Fine Flyer\n
\n"+
"
"+
"Buffalo, bison and yak type fibres are wonderfully soft. They need to be spun with a fairly short draw and with quite a bit of twist. Quivuit in particular is fine and short and likes to be spun very, very fine. A fast whorl and lace flyer or even a lace kit might be a good choice. - Lace Flyer, Fast Whorl\n
\n"+
"The Lace Kit information is here - Lace Kit\n

"Natural fibres including hemp, flax, banana, bamboo. There are a large variety of fibres here so I will make a couple of suggestions. Hemp is better spun fine (and with dampened fingers) - if thick it starts looking a bit ropey. A fine or lace flyer would be a good choice here and a fast whorl - Fine Flyer, Fast Whorl\n
\n"+
"
"+
"Man-made fibres including tencel are very strong and soft. Because many of them do not have the same 'barbs' that wool does and causes the yarn to hold together, they need lots of twist. Fine Flyers or E-System Flyers might work well for you with man-made fibres - Fine Flyer\n
\n"+

"For Wild and novelty yarns, nothing compares to our Wild Flyer. Huge 23mm ceramic orifices will let pretty much anything you can imagine spinning slide through with ease. The Wild Flyer kit comes with a Wild Flyer and a jumbo bobbin - Wild Flyer Kit\n
\n"+
"If you are planning on plying from your jumbo bobbins then we suggest one of our special universal LazyKates. It will fit any Majacraft bobbin and the engraving really sets it apart from crowd - LazyKate\n
\n"+
"
"+
"If you are wanting a portable true double treadle spinning wheel then the Little Gem could be just what you are looking for. The unique design and compact size when it is folded really make it a little gem!\n
\n"+
"The Little Gem comes with a shoulder carry bag, three plastic bobbins and a travelling kate. For more information follow the Little Gem link - Little Gem\n
\n"+
"
"+
"The traditional spoked wheel and engraved rose motif make The Rose an excellent choice if you are looking for a wheel with more \"olde worlde\" styling.\n
\n"+
"The Rose comes with a delta flyer and slow whorl, a fine flyer and higher speed Suzie style whorl, four bobbins and a Rose bobbins box that can double as a lazy kate - Rose\n
