Lazy Kates

Lazy kates are used to hold your bobbins while plying.  Some lazy kates are tensioned; they have a brake band that holds in the groove of the bobbins, to keep them from spinning backwards when you are plying, making the job of plying much easier, because you have more control over the yarn.
Kates are also a good storage place for the bobbins that are not in use.
We offer several models of kates, see below.

Katie-a-Go-Go

Katie-a-Go-Go
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™ 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!  

Price:  $44.99  #649104

Parts list includes:

  • 6" x 6" x 3/4" thick Maple hardwood base with 4 clear vinyl feet

  • Center dowel with sturdy stainless steel yarn loop

  • Tensioning dowel with cord and rubber band

  • 3 - 7.5" x 3/16" tool grade steel bobbin rods

  • Sturdy zippered denim carry sack with a handle

  • A free set of 10 Spinning Project Kards is included (a $4.00 value)
