Majacraft Aura Spinning Wheel — Technical Description

The Majacraft Aura is an innovative double-drive spinning wheel designed in collaboration with spinner Lexi Boeger (Pluckyfluff). 

Drive System & Ratios

- The Aura employs two independent drive bands: one (polycord) for the flyer drive, and a separate non-stretch Dacron tension / bobbin drive band for take-up control. 

The flyer drive provides three preset ratios: 4.1:1, 5.4:1, and 7.3:1  

• The bobbin drive features two fixed ratios plus an infinite adjustment for fine tuning take-up independent of flyer twist.  

Flyer & Orifice

• It uses a hybrid flyer with a dual-function orifice: a “delta” section that holds fine yarns or coil yarns steady for observation, and a bypass “halo ring” for spinning bulkier yarns.  

• The Aura can spin “anything that can be pulled through this orifice” using the double drive setup.  

Dimensions & Physical Specifications

• Weight: Approximately 16.5 lb (≈ 7.5 kg)  
• Orifice height (adjustable): From 27.5 in to 31.8 in  
• Wheel diameter: 13.25 in (bamboo wheel)  
• Construction / Materials: NZ Rimu wood for structural parts, bamboo rim for the wheel  

Accessories & Compatibility

Hardware & Construction Details

• JCB bolts are used in many structural joints to maintain clean lines and rigidity.
