Louet Julia S-11 Spinning Wheel

Louet's newest spinning wheel, Julia, is said to be the 'mom' to Victoria.  The Julia's bobbins, flyer, and scotch tension are all the same as on the Victoria.  You will love the way this wheel looks and spins. It is a modern double treadle design constructed from naturally immaculate birch.

The bobbins or the Julia are the same as the Victoria so you can enjoy the Victoria wheel or travel to guild meetings and events and the Julia for spinning at the house or workshop. The Julia is much more suited to plying than the Victoria but both will ply. There are four ratios 1:6, 1:8.5, 1:12.5, 1:19.   An optional high speed set, which is also the same set as the Victoria uses, provides an extra 27:1 ratio and make it easier to treadle the 19:1 on the Julia.  

A removable insert provides two orifice sizes (12mm and 8mm). All rotating parts run on ball bearings for smooth operation, while the unit itself is constructed out of beech and birch plywood, smoothly lacquered.  The Julia comes with a stand-alone Lazy Kate with an adjustable brake and four bobbins. Wheels are made of laminated hardwood with a "birch" exterior finish.
