Louet S17 Spinning Wheel
Comes partially assembled, comparable to other Louet classic wheels, the final assembly is quick and easy. The wood is sanded, the edges
rounded and ready for a finishing with lacquer, stain or
wax. Since the backpost on the new wheel is 32mm thick, the
original S17 skeinwinder will not fit the new version, however, the Louet
stand alone skeinwinder will solve that problem. A great wheel at a great price!
The first generation Louet spinning wheels, like the S10 and S17, all
have a single belt bobbin drive with an adjustable flyer brake to
regulate tension. This results in spinning wheels that are very easy to
learn how to spin on, and also very suitable to spin thicker yarns. The
bobbins have a sheave with three settings that can be used to obtain
three spinning speeds or ratios. 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 Louet
uses 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.
