Louet Julia

The newest wheel from Louet! Julia is a Victoria version of the classic S51DT model. Built to the high-quality standards that you have come to expect from Louet equipment, this full size, upright wheel is easy to use. Julia is made of lacquered solid beech and laminated birch. This wheel does not fold like Victoria but the base can be easily detached from the upright for ease of transportation. Four bobbins and a stand-alone lazy-kate with an adjustable brake for three bobbins are included with each wheel. The new generation of Lou?t spinning wheels, Victoria and Julia, have Scotch tension: single belt, flyer drive with an adjustable bobbin brake to regulate the tension on the yarn that you are spinning. The standard ratios are higher than those of the first generation, which makes it easier to spin very fine yarns. When using the highspeed set the ratio increases even further.
