Introducing a
truly portable
Lazy Kate
for spinners:
 
 
by Nancy's Knit Knacks

 


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.


Drop Spindle Fiber Artists - Our Kate works well with drop spindles
 We have developed a breakthrough in transferring yarn
from the spindle to the Lazy Kate - click here to see how we do it

 

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!

The Katie a-Go-Go comes with it own
12-14 oz. denim carry sack

Quality materials in a quality design

   
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)
   

The Katie a-Go-Go™ accommodates up to 3 bobbins. Pictured at left are Majacraft bobbins which tend to have a larger diameter than many bobbins currently on the market. Our latest design uses bobbin rods which will accommodate virtually all known bobbins on the market today .

         

The tensioning system is simple and effective. The user controls the tension by turning the dowel while it is seated in the base of the unit. The other end of the tensioning cord is connected to the stationary dowel via a small rubber band.      
   
Other features:
  • All wooden parts are sanded and finished with a Danish oil treatment.
  • A specially designed carry sack is included  which is made from the same sturdy 12-14 oz. Denim fabric that we use in our Sacks and Packs. Includes a zippered opening and a large loop handle.
  • Disassembles even faster than it goes together
  • Designed by Nancy Shroyer, our founder
  • The unit is exclusively manufactured to our specifications for Nancy's Knit Knacks by professional woodworking craftsmen located in the  USA .  

     

   

 

The Katie a-Go-Go™ is a highly engineered and quality manufactured product designed by a fiber artist for fiber artists. It is the most portable Lazy Kate available today at any price.

Note: some pictures show a dual loop yarn guide instead of the newer single loop. All units are made with a single loop because of its superior yarn handling characteristics. Our new single loop yarn guide dowel screws into the base.
