We now
only offer the Jumbo Lazy Kate. We have retired the original
Katie a-Go Go Lazy Kate and have decided to only offer the
larger version which can accommodate the all bobbin sizes
including the new larger 5"
bobbins. The Jumbo
measures 7" x 7" and is only 1" large in both
directions than the original Katie a-Go Go. Some pictures on
this page are of the older version so just keep in mind that
the Jumbo is slightly larger. It uses all of the same
components as the original and fits into the same denim
carry sack

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!
