The short answer

Majacraft Suzie is a spinning wheel from Majacraft. It has two treadles and a fold-down design.

If you take your wheel to classes or meetings, the folding design is worth a look.

These are stages of what you might want to make, not a ranking. Each step is a different kind of project, and every one is a good place to be.

Step 1
Spinning away from home
Yarn at a class, a guild meeting or a friend’s house, with a wheel that folds.
This one. Listed as folding.
Step 2
Spinning at home
