Majacraft
Majacraft Boil-a-Bobbin
Majacraft has come up with something dramatically different in the world of bobbins – boilable bobbins made of durable plastic with holes in the shaft so they can be thrown right into hot water! But why? Maybe you’ve just spun bulky singles for an icelandic style sweater, or delicate singles for the pattern weft of an overshot coverlet. If you try to skein the singles you could be in for a tangled mess as soon as they come off the niddy noddy. Set the twist before you skein by boiling the full bobbins. And while you’re at it, try dyeing the yarn while it’s still on the bobbin. Fits all Majacraft wheels
Item Number: 68003080.
Price: $20.00/ea.
Majacraft Dolphin Niddy Noddy
Is that a dolphin in your spinning basket? Majacraft's niddy noddy is shaped like a dolphin and lets you wind a skein around its tail and across its nose and dorsal fin. Made from rimu wood veneer MDF, the dolphin niddy noddy sits comfortably in your hand. It has the advantage of a compact size while retaining an elegant shape. When winding, the skein length of 54" makes calculations easy. It equates to 1 1/2 yds per wind

Price: $59.00/ea.
Schacht
Schacht Extra Slow Speed Whorl

Collect the whole set and have a whorl of fun.
