All you need to spin your dreams
Donyale Grant of Moggy & Me has had some exciting news recently. She entered and won the Dairing Art Yarn competition with a piece she wove on her Dynamic Heddle Loom (there had to be a Majacraft catch in there somewhere!) She has written […]
In case you were not aware, we offer quite a few options to customise your Majacraft wheel when you order from us. This is a light we have tended to keep hidden under a bushel unfortunately so recently I was encouraged to build a page […]
The 450 Circular Loom is a larger version of the current 275 Circular Loom. It is obviously larger but we have also added more notches to the diameter to give more opportunities and potential for different warps
I have added photos and a description of the 450mm variant of the circular loom to the weaving area of the web site and you can see it here 450mm Circular Loom.
Until next time

We received a message today in the Majacraft inbox via Christine Oliver of Moondance Colour Company about her Rube Goldberg Overdrive. Using some backroom genius, she has converted her Overdrive to use an Irish tensioning system. I have to confess that I just LOVE […]
We have been steadily working through the Overdrive orders and shipping them as fast as we can. If you are on the list for one, take heart, you have not been forgotten and we will get it to you as soon as possible! I have carried […]
The first batch of Overdrives shipped yesterday! So long as we are not blown into the ocean by the terrible storm that is approaching for this weekend, I would suggest keeping an eye on your letterbox from Wednesday on next week. More Overdrives will go next week, the bobbins are backing up and everything is coming together nicely.
Suzy at Woolwench put together this short video of changing the Overdrive on an Aura. As you can see, it is pretty simple and anyone can take on this task with confidence.
Until next time

I have put together a video of highlights from the Majacraft Magic camp for this year. If you attended it may remind you of the great time that was experienced by all. If you weren’t there, see what you were missing! Andrew
The Majacraft camp is over for another year… I am currently going through that low funk that happens in life after a special experience. And unsurprisingly, the camp was another high point. The tutors were marvellous and people learned stuff and had a lot […]
It has been a bit of a mammoth effort to push the new Overdrive Heads into production but things are progressing well and nearly ready for shipping out to you. Here are the first ones in the final stages of building. Just so you know we are not eating donuts and drinking coffee!
Until next time

On the weekend of the 22nd February, Alet Tienport hosted some classes for double heddle weaving on the Dynamic Heddle Loom as taught by Patty Poot and Suzy Brown. There were some amazing pieces created by the students. These photos of weaving by Annick Keters […]
