Louet S17

The perfect first wheel and one of the best selling Louet wheels in this shop!

This single treadle wheel is designed with the budget conscious spinner in mind! Smooth ball bearing operation like all Louet wheels, easy treadling, and a well balanced wheel that won’t disappoint! Comes as a kit in pieces with assembly instructions. A great wheel at a really great price!

Louët wheels were originally geared towards spinning medium to heavy yarns. Although bobbins and flyers are available for spinning this type of yarn, the standard wheels have been redesigned to be more suitable for spinning fine to medium yarns. The orifice on the standard wheel is sufficiently large (12.5 mm or 1/2") as are the bobbins, (180-250 gr capacity), to allow you to create novelty yarns.
Wheels come equipped with a two bobbin lazy kate.

Technically all Louet models are the same. Each wheel has a single belt bobbin drive with an adjustable flyer brake to regulate the tension. The flexible belts are made of polyurethane and never have to be adjusted.

All wheels are packed and shipped partially assembled in a flat box. The required assembly consists quite simply of tightening two nuts for which tools and instructions are provided. The shipping weight is 17-18 lbs.

Ratios
All bobbins have a sheave with three settings on one side that can be used to obtain three different spinning ratios. They are: 1:5.5 for slow spinning and heavy yarn; 1:7.5 for medium yarn; and, 1:10.5 for fast spinning and fine yarn. (S45 ratios are: 7:1, 12:1 and 20:1)

The fly wheels of all our models are 50 cm (20") in diameter (except for the S45). They rotate on a maintenance free, lubricated for life ball bearing pack to ensure excellent spinning ability by allowing them to turn freely and quitely. The same maintenance free ball bearing is used at the footman connection. (Absolutely no lubrication is necessary for the bearings to work correctly)

Wheels are made of laminated hardwood with a "birch" exterior finish.

Louet sends 8 ounces of fiber (usually coopworth roving) with every wheel.

The wheel you are purchasing is a kit wheel. In other words it will arrive at your doorstep in pieces with an instruction manual for assembly. The pictured of the painted wheel are of my personal wheel. I do offer a painting service, please contact me and I will be more than happy to provide a painting quote.

Louet Victoria

I added one of these to my spinning herd not to long ago. Let me tell you! I LUUUUURVE IT! Not only can I spin some fun art yarns with it due to the 1/2" orifice, but I really am enjoying the fact that I don't need to remember what I have done with my orifice hook each time I start on new roving or break my single.

If you are looking for something with a small carbon foot print you will love this wheel. With out disassembly it should fit very neatly in your car. Of course to top that off, Louet has made it very quick and easy to take apart for traveling the friendly skies. My carry bag measures 22"x 14" and has a few extra pockets for storage. The large one in the front is spacious enough to hold at least a 1/2 pound of roving!

If I knew when I started my spinning adventures how wonderful this wheel was, I would have bit the bullet so to speak and got one of these little spinners. It truly is a joy to spin on. There are no screws to be tightened or removed each time you put it away in your bag. I NOW HAVE A NEW FAVORITE WHEEL!

The Victoria is not like your everyday spinning wheel, although it is designed to be such. It’s light, portable and incredibly easy to use. The Victoria has been designed with precision and care, from advice recieved by today’s hand spinner.

Wheels are made of laminated hardwood with a "birch" exterior finish.

Louet Julia

The best way to describe this wheel is a Victoria version of the S51DT. Bobbins, flyer and the Scotch tension are the same as on the Victoria. The Louet Julia is a Full size folding wheel that folds in half making it very portable.

There are four ratios, which are: 1:6, 1:8.5, 1:12.5, 1:19. An optional high speed set, which is also the same set as the Victoria uses, provides an extra 1:27 ratio and make it easier to treadle the 1:19 on the Julia.

A removable insert provides two orifice sizes (12mm and 8mm). All rotating parts run on ball bearings for smooth operation, while the unit itself is constructed out of beech and birch plywood, smoothly lacquered.

The Julia comes standard with a stand-alone 3 bobbin Lazy Kate with an adjustable brake.
Wheels are made of laminated hardwood with a "birch" exterior finish.

The base with treadles can be easily disassembled from the upright with the main wheel (unit does not fold) for easy transportation.

Scotch Tension Brake System gives you an unlimited range of tension

Well made with care and precision in Holland.
