SPINNING:
Introduction

SPINNING: Louet Spinning Wheels

Castle style, the wheel for anyone. A very easy way into spinning. It doesn’t look like an antique, the design and construction are modern. The design is also very good: the smoothness of running, the conserved momentum, and the running speeds, are what make it an easy wheel. There are two bobbins (regular and high-speed) each with three speeds, for a total of six possible speeds (Pulleys are built-in to one end of the bobbin — see picture lower right). Louet uses scotch tension (a single drive band that turns the bobbin, and a friction brake on the flyer to allow take-up of the new yarn).
Foot-treadle driven; birch veneer plywood wheel and flyer; built-in two-bobbin Lazy Kate (handily below the flyer orifice for easy plying); ash wood frame. There is a Skein-Winder that mounts directly on the wheel, and a flax distaff with its own water cup (not included).
We stock three Louet wheels — the S10, the S15 and the S51. On the S10, the wood is finished. The S15 is unfinished, and it does not have the circular cutout. They are both single-treadle wheels. Either one requires about 5 minutes of assembly (the S15 should be finished first — Watco® or Tung Oil recommended).

S10 Wheel

S15 Wheel

S51 Double Treadle Wheel

The S51 combines the modern technology of the S10 and S15 with a more traditional appearance; it has a spoke wheel. It also features a double treadle. Two-foot treadling is light and relaxed, rather like riding a bicycle; the two feet work in opposites. Louet makes several other wheels, and a family of looms and tools, catalog available upon request. We stock the S10, S15 and S51 for immediate shipment; other Louet products are available within 2-3 weeks. Wheels excluded from Volume Discount Schedule. Please specify wheel when ordering bobbins.
