Louet S17 Spinning Wheel

In 2024, Louët added a double treadle version of the S17! The technical specifications are the same as the IrT version of the S10 Concept, so all S10 flyers and bobbins will fit your wheel.​

​

 The Louet S17 has 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 whorl with three settings that can be used to obtain three spinning speeds or ratios. By using different types of bobbins and flyers this wheel 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 and is a kit that needs complete assembly.  The wood is unfinished - you will need to lacquer, oil, or paint your new S17. The wood will come sanded and the edges rounded, however, there may be some rough spots which the user can remove with sand paper we provide in the kit.
