Description

The EEW Lazy Kate holds bobbins while you ply them together.  It comes with three pieces so it can hold three bobbins at a time.  Here is a list of some of its most impressive features:

  • Magnetic locking system firmly holds each piece together.
  • The base can be separated and weights added if you want a heavier base.
  • Both 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) and 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) rods are included to make it work well with all EEW Nano/6 bobbins and many bobbins from other wheel manufacturers.
  • Yarn spikes can be put through yarn balls and then this will let you unroll the yarn ball without it tangling.
  • Rods unscrew and bases stack together, making this extremely portable.
  • Includes stoppers to prevent bobbins from falling off, and a braking system.

This video shows a quick overview of the operation.

It works with EEW Nano, EEW Nano 2, EEW 6.0, and EEW 5.x bobbins.  It also works with most other bobbins.  If the bobbin is over 130mm in length it might not work with this lazy kate.

    I love this lazy Kate. It is easy to use- great adjustment on the tension and folds up for flat for storage or transport.

  2. Paola Manzini (verified owner)

    This Lazy Kate is just great – the three different spindle thicknesses means that it is very versatile; the fact that it can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled coupled with the magnets means that it is extremely portable; and the super simple but very effective tensioning system means that it is super easy to look after.
    As ever, clever design for a wonderfully effective fibre tool!

    I have been using the Lazy Cate while traveling and it has done an amazing job. I love the tensioning bands and the ability to use it in components. It is so easy to pack that I won’t leave home without it ever again.

    Plying now. Doing a three ply yarn. Works a charm, really like the bands for tensioning.

    I used this lazy Kate to hold yarn while winding a warp for weaving. It worked like a dream.
