Next gen Rose

The elves have been busy at Majacraft. This week (actually last week as I type this), we have shipped the next generation of our Rose spinning wheels. While they are still obviously a Rose to look at, very little has not been inspected thoroughly and […]

Majacraft Magic Camp 2011

WOW! What a fantastic time we had at our recent Majacraft Magic Camp. As we have done previously, we held it at Keswick Conference Centre right on the lake side at Rotorua.  The weekend was very busy, starting on the Friday morning and continuing until […]

Is this a royal endorsement?

Hello again!

Look what we received earlier this week. I know it is not a royal endorsement but … wow!

I wonder if she would be available for a promotional tour? 🙂 If you wish to read the full article on the UK’s Daily Mail web site, then visit here

Tokyo!

Very long time no write! We have been crazy busy at Majacraft for the last couple of months and it has been a very exciting time. Things are just about under control again so I have finally had an opportunity to post again. Amongst other […]

Hackle-berry Finn

We now make hackles! After quite a few requests for them we have found some space to build them. I am really pleased with how they turned out. We have again used Baz’s great idea of bonding the pins into the hackle base using resin […]

The Aura-gle has landed

Well here it is, the games and teases are finally over and our 18 month long project has been liberated into the wilds. Our new wheel the Aura has been overwhelmingly well received and we have been really excited by how much people are enjoying it. I spoke to Dad (Owen) this afternoon and he was just buzzing about their trip to the US. He said they had been made to feel so welcome by all they had met and were very grateful for the genorosity they had been shown.

If you are interested, Rob and I were interviewed by Granny G and she has posted the podcast of the interview on her web site (www.grannygcrafts.com). I have listened it through and was really pleased how it came out. I tend to be my own worst critic and usually don’t like the way I sound recorded (I think I sound like I am talking through my nose or something!) but Genny must have done some audio magic as I thought it was great.

Hopefully Mum and Dad will have some Maryland photos I can share with you when they return on Saturday. Until next time…

Keep cool ’til after school.

Majacraft Maryland Schedule

Hi there Glynis has just passed me the schedule for their travels around the Maryland Show (and the presentation of a certain super secret spinning wheel). I said I would post it and here it is. If you want to come and meet them or […]

They are on their way!

Maryland is approaching, the big reveal is coming and the new wheels are being packed and shipped to dealers from today! After a huge effort (this is why there haven’t been any blog posts for the last couple of weeks), we are nearing the end […]

The Pioneer makeover

Two posts in one day!

Another of our projects is finally ready for us to show you. One of our primary objectives is to make craft tools that work great and look fantastic too and so based on this idea, we have given the Pioneer a makeover.

The new Pioneer

The base and pedals of the Pioneer are now in solid pine similar to the stem. It is a heavier wood than the original plywood so the overall look of the wheel is much more solid. We have also changed from the cream wash to a lovely honey coloured oil that accentuates the grain of the wood.

It comes with the new aerodynamic flyer and like our other wheels, all accessories will fit. Best of all, the price remains the same so getting started in spinning with a Majacraft wheel is as affordable as ever.

Here comes a blogtastic day

After working hard out in the workshop for the last … forever, I am back in the computer seat and am planning on posting lots of content today. Rob is out taking photos so keep your eyes open for more Majacraft goodies. The first thing […]
