Majacraft - Pioneer

If you want to start spinning with Majacraft then the Pioneer is the wheel for you!

The Pioneer has been designed by Majacraft to be a highly affordable spinning wheel - yet we have been careful not to compromise the functionality that Majacraft wheels are renowned for.

As with all Majacraft wheels our accessories will fit on the Pioneer. You can add our specialist spinning equipment if you wish to pursue different styles of spinning.

The wide range of ratios, a versatile Delta Flyer and easy to use Scotch Tension System will make spinning a dream! The head can be adjusted in a similar way to the Little Gem so you can customise the orifice position to fit your style and body.

The effortless double treadle spinning allows you to spin for long periods of time with no discomfort. The pedal position has been ergonomically designed to fit you comfortably as the spinner!

The beautiful cream wash finish is unique to the Pioneer and will obviously be treasured by it’s owner.

Some of the features of the Pioneer are:

- Double heel and toe treadling
- Frictionless ball bearings
- Single hook flyer
- Maintainance-free drive band
- Super smooth patented bobbins
- Lightweight
- No threading hook required
- Right or left handed
