AkerKate

Thanks to our AkerKate's unique engineering, the shafts are able to pivot up and down while remaining captive in the Kate, without risk of being lost or misplaced. Two endcaps protect the wood and house four rubber feet that reduce slipping/sliding during operation.Our AkerKate accommodates up to four jumbo bobbins as large as 4.75" (121mm) diameter and 6.75" (171mm) tall. The shafts are undersized 1/4", measuring 0.240" diameter, so bobbins used on 1/4" flyer shafts (Ashford, Lendrum, Hansen, etc.) as well as bobbins for larger flyer shafts (Majacraft, Schacht, Kromski, etc.) will work quite well. This Kate coordinates beautifully with Akerworks Flat-Pack Bobbins. The AkerKate is a tensioned Kate: each bobbin's spin may be individually tensioned using our patented TensiTamers (US Patent #10427850) on each shaft. This is a special
