We now
offer 2 Kates. The standard Katie a-Go Go Lazy Kate and the
new Jumbo Kate. Both are constructed the same but the Jumbo
measures 7" x 7" and can hold the new large Jumbo bobbins.

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!
