All you need to spin your dreams
A short time ago we released the new updated version of the Pioneer, our entry level spinning wheel. The update has quite a few changes, such as the super handy handle in the stem, the nicer shaped pedals, and the harder wood (moved from Pine […]

Have you heard the news yet?! At the end of April 2019 we launched a fresh new-look Pioneer, two in fact! The Pioneer X and the X-Creative! This is an update and makeover of our entry level wheel which has proven to be a wonderful workhorse […]
This year we held two Majacraft camps, one in Australia and one here in New Zealand shortly after. Both were pretty awesome! Majacraft Camp Australia was organised by the very inspirational Janet Day of ‘My Spin on Things’ in Melbourne. We started out on a […]
It is time to announce the winning colour, the one of four which received the most votes, and I am pleased to say there were over 500 votes counted! The competition was close, initially I thought we were going to be having Banana Split bobbins this year, and then it was looking like we would have an orange year with Energised….
As the votes continued though we saw a new trend emerging, a more subtle colour, peaceful, relaxing…. I am happy to announce that the 2019 Majacraft Bobbin Colour of the Year is…… (drumroll)
This is a beautiful colour, and one that we had lots of indication for last year as a potential colour for 2019 as well. This is going to look amazing with the existing bobbin colours of pink, blue, purple, and lime green, and if you were lucky enough to get a lilac bobbin as well your collection will be looking really beautiful.
I would also like to announce our five randomly drawn bobbin winners too! If you see your name in the list please contact us by email with your postal address at support@majacraft.co.nz . We are currently on summer vacation but we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Congratulations and thank you all so much for your participation! As soon as the bobbins are made and ready to order we will post here and on Facebook to let you know. We will you all a fantastic year 🙂
If you are a spinner who enjoys making anything you do ‘yours’, then I think you will enjoy this idea! Our wonderful wooden bobbins are just right for adding your own personal touch and turning them into something uniquely yours. I have played with this […]
This time I thought I would share some spin stuff with you, something you could make on any of our range of wheels, but especially if you like spinning finer yarns, this will even work as a heavy lace and will fit perfectly with the […]
What a wonderful way to welcome in a new year! I have just closed voting and spent some (considerable) time! counting all the votes that were made to choose the Special Edition Bobbin colour of 2018! I am excited and I can tell you that it wasnt till I was about three quarters through the vote counting that I started to see a preference, it was suspenseful 🙂
Here are the four colours we picked to choose from:
Previous years have seen Lime Green, Purple, Pink, and an extra to celebrate our Anniversary in Lilac. When we chose the above colours it was with the hope that any of those colours would look wonderful with the already collected previous year colours too. I did have my own preference but I am not going to say what it was 😀 except I am glad I didnt have to vote as I really loved all the colours! The ones not chosen will be reprieved next year as options too so if your favourite wasnt chosen this year, it could be in 2019!
Heres a quick preview of past colours… and then I will reveal the new one!
I love it!
Here is my very rough photoshop impression of how the bobbins could look 🙂
Thank you so much to everyone! And of course we cannot leave without a draw for five lucky bobbin recipients! Congratulations to…

We will go ahead and get these bobbins created to just the right colour (Eastern Blue!!) and we will send them to our draw winners and let you all know when they are available!
Things have been pretty exciting over the last month in the Aura Club, as we have been running an ‘Extreme Yarn’ challenge! The Aura is a wheel that is MADE for extremes, it handles the biggest, bulkiest, most textured of yarns, taking it all in […]
