Meet the Louët S10 Concept Double Treadle Spinning Wheel — a modern reimagining of Louët's original classic first introduced over 50 years ago. This updated version features a durable 5-spoke main wheel, smooth Scotch tension, and a double treadle design for effortless spinning. Whether you're a new spinner or a seasoned fiber artist, the S10 Concept delivers precision, portability, and long-lasting performance.

Designed for Control, Comfort, and Longevity

• Double Treadle Comfort: Spin longer with less fatigue. The double treadle design distributes motion evenly across both feet for smoother control, especially helpful at higher speeds or when plying.
• Scotch Tension System: A flyer-led drive system with adjustable bobbin brake gives you fine-grained control over take-up—ideal for spinning everything from laceweight yarn to thick-and-thin art yarns.
• Adjustable Ratios: Spin at 6:1, 8:1, 13:1, or 20:1 for flexibility across different fibers and yarn styles.
• Removable Orifice Insert: Switch between 8 mm and 12 mm openings depending on the yarn type and fiber prep you’re using.
• Sturdy, Modern Design: Made from lacquered beech and birch plywood with a smooth, quiet drive system and low-maintenance ball bearings.

What's Included

• Louët S10 Concept 5-Spoke Wheel with Scotch Tension (Double Treadle)
• Standard Flyer with Sliding Hook
• 3 Bobbins
• Built-in Lazy Kate
• Removable orifice insert (8 & 12 mm)

Compact, Portable & Easy to Assemble

Although it doesn't fold, the Louët S10 Concept is designed for easy transport. The treadle base detaches from the upright wheel for quick breakdown. With a total weight of just 12 lbs and a footprint width of 16.5", it’s ideal for small studios or mobile spinners attending workshops and guild meetups.

Low-Maintenance, High-Performance

• Maintenance-Free Bearings: No lubrication required at the main wheel hub or footman connection.
• Tension Tips: Use the tension knob to dial in the brake band tension as your bobbin fills. Clockwise adds twist (great for fine yarn), counter-clockwise reduces take-up (perfect for bulkier yarns).
• Storage Note: For best results, move the drive band off the groove during long breaks in spinning to prevent stretching.
