The Katie a-Go-Go™ allows spinners to take a fully functional Lazy Kate with them no matter where they go. Best of all, the Katie a-Go-Go™ has a fully adjustable tensioning system just like the larger Lazy Kate's.
The Katie a-Go-Go™ accommodates up to 3 bobbins. Pictured are Majacraft bobbins (and an Ashford bobbin) which tend to have a larger diameter than many bobbins currently on the market. This latest design uses bobbin rods which will accommodate virtually all known bobbins on the market today.
The Katie a-Go-Go™ fully assembles in less than a minute. It has just 6 parts plus a carrying sack. There are no tools required to assemble it. The user screws the center dowel into the base by hand. They then insert the 3 steel bobbin rods. Then, they slip either 2 or 3 bobbins onto the rods and insert the tensioning dowel into the base. Lastly, they wrap the cord around the bobbins and then pull their yarn through the center dowel's yarn loop. That's it!
Spindlers. . . You can use this too!
These hand-crafted 'Little Man' Niddy-Noddy's are delight to own. The 1 yard & 2 yard versions have a shaped handle made from laminated hardwoods and have a hand rubbed finish - they are very comfortable to hold. The cross-dowels are tapered so they only go in half way creating a niddy-noddy that disassembles for easy storage and transportation.
Choose from a 2 yard, a 1 yard, or for sampling and contests, a "mini" niddy-noddy.
