The Millie was designed as an elegant, compact double treadle
wheel that has the ease of use and features that are common to Majacraft
wheels. It is unique in design and has a character that will grace
any home. Its very small floor area appeals to those with less space.
The Millie is made for spinners on a lower budget who do not wish
at this time to invest in a fully featured wheel, but enjoy the ease
and smoothness of a double treadle wheel.
Although very compact, it offers full orifice height and is built
from beautiful New Zealand Rimu. Majacraft pay special attention
to treadle angles to ensure that there is minimum strain on ankle
and calf muscles while spinning
Some of the features of the Millie are:
- Easy heel and toe treadling
- Comes with four (4) bobbins
- Low friction ball and pivot bearings
- Single hook flyer - made of stainless steel for quick even winding
