LOUËT Spinning Wheel S17 unlacquered

The S17 is an exceptional wheel for beginner spinners.   It comes standard with 3 bobbins, lazy kate and standard flyer.  Its functionality and adaptability are such that you can grow with your wheel adding Art yarn flyer and bulky bobbins or High speed flyer and bobbins for fine spinning.  This wheel will let you explore the wonderful world of hand spinning.

The wheel is a kit and needs complete assembly.  The wood is unfinished - you will need to lacquer, oil, or paint your new S17.

The bobbins have three whorls that can be used to obtain three spinning speeds or ratios (speed of the wheel is determined between the size differential between main fly wheel and whorl on the bobbin). By using different types of bobbins and flyers, Louet spinning wheels can be used to produce every kind of yarn, from coarse wool to fine silks. A High Speed Set is also available for this wheel for easier spinning of very fine yarns. 

Finally, an excellent spinning wheel must turn freely and quietly. Accordingly we use maintenance-free ball bearings in the main hub and at the footman connection. (No lubrication is required). The wheels are made of a laminated hardwood with a "birch" exterior finish.
