New generation Louet spinning wheel, the Victoria, has Scotch tension: single drive belt, flyer driven 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.
Victoria is available in a lacquered beech (S95) and a lacquered oak version shown here (S96). The double treadle Victoria wheel folds down to 14 x 36 x 55 cm (5 1/2" x 14 1/4" x 21 3/4". It contains a lazy kate with two extra bobbins (3 total included).
