Majacraft Suzie Spinning Wheel

I recently received my Suzie spinning wheel. I immediately put it together (very easy, great instructions!) and started to spin a Falkland and silk batt I made on my Fusion Engine Drum carder. 

Like all the Majacraft wheels, I was not disappointed. These wheels are designed specifically to make the experience of spinning on them as easy and pleasurable as possible. Majacraft has high standards and high expectations of their wheels, they must be smooth to pedal, stable, and well balanced. They want you to be able to spin comfortably for hours on a wheel that works with you to create the yarns you imagined the moment you felt the fibre in your hands and set your feet to the treadles. And this wheel does not disappoint. 

Please note: THIS SPINNING WHEEL IS DROP SHIPPED FROM NEW ZEALAND AND THERE IS CURRENTLY (as of February 2025) A 5 WEEK MINIMUM WAIT! FREE SHIPPING INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. 

Suzie
The Suzie is the original Majacraft double-treadle spinning wheel. It spins beautifully and is crafted in attractive New Zealand Rimu. The drive wheel is MDF with a Rimu veneer. This makes the drive wheel both heavy for easier spinning and stable in changing climates while the Rimu veneer matches the colour and style of the overall spinning wheel.
After years of  evolution and refinement, we have it in a form that is both incredibly easy to use and spins wonderfully for both beginners and experienced fibre artists. A New Zealand Clematis flower motif is laser engraved on the handle and drive wheel to create a unique and striking look.
After building the Suzie for 21 years (and counting!) you can be sure you are investing in a reliable and dependable spinning wheel that will serve you well for years to come.

All Majacraft spinning accessories fit on the Suzie making it very versatile.

Some of the features of the Suzie are:

From Majacraft:
We take pride in creating beautifully finished wheels with unique, elegant designs and paying attention to the details. For example, all of the Rimu in our wheels is colour matched, we even sand the underneath of our wheels. Majacraft equipment is recognisable by its quality, style, and the features that set it apart from other brands, including the stunning New Zealand Rimu wood, the innovative designs such as the double treadle system which ensures smooth and effortless pedaling, and our lightweight hand balanced flyers.

We endeavor to create specialist accessories that are compatible with our full range of wheels. This means that as your spinning practice expands beyond the basics, your wheel will grow with you and can be optimized for whatever kind of spinning you are planning to do, as well as the kind of spinning you had not planned to do! Whatever you need, we have you covered; faster pulleys and lace flyers right through to massive capacity bobbins and the Aura technology modified double drive.
