Lojan Travel Buddy Spinning Wheel with Backpack
Buddy is Lojan's brand new spinning wheel and is available as a compact folding Travel Buddy as well as a standard single and double treadle wheel. Designed for both new and experienced spinners the key principles were quality, affordability and ease of use.
Advantages
- Four bobbins and a stand-alone lazy kate for three bobbins are included.
- Dutch tension: Irish tension improved by Jan Louët. The wheel is bobbin-led, but because of the aerodynamical design of the flyer you can spin with a very low pull on the yarn. That makes Dutch tension very suitable for spinning thin yarns as well as thick and art yarns.
- With 5 ratios from 1:4 to 1:18, orifice of 18 mm (0.7") and special insert, Buddy is an all-rounder: you can spin thin, thick and art yarn with it.
- The 12 mm special insert can be aligned so that the yarn does not wobble.
- Easy to move large sliding guides with an opening, allowing you to insert the yarn instead of threading it through.
- Effective and easy-to-assemble construction.
- No disposable plastic in the packaging.
Specification:
- Finish: natural, allowing you to choose your own finish
- Material: solid beech and beech laminated wood
- Ratios: 1:4 / 1:6 / 1:9 / 1:13 / 1:18
- Wheel diameter: 41 cm (16")
- Bobbin capacity: about 200 grams (7 oz.)
- Orifice height: 65 cm (25.5")
- Weight: 5 kg (11 lbs.)
