Lojan Buddy Spinning Wheel – Wide Treadle

Description

Lojan Buddy Spinning Wheel – Wide Treadle

The Lojan Buddy is the newest spinning wheel from the drawing board of Jan Louët.

This portable and versatile wheel can spin thin yarn to art yarn and beyond without the need to change bobbins or flyers.

This spinning wheel has one wide treadle. Operate it with both feet or with one foot.

Dutch tension is Irish tension improved by Jan Louët: the spinning wheel is bobbin-led, but the aerodynamic design of the flyer allows you to spin with very little pull on the yarn. As a result, Dutch tension is great for spinning both thin and thick yarns.

Lojan BV was founded in 2023 by Jan Louët and his daughter, Loes van Aken.
