Summer Spinning With Louët
We've spent our summer spinning up a rainbow on one of our favourite wheels, the Louët S17.
What can I say, the S17 didn’t skip a beat as we worked our way through 300g of stash fibre to come up with six yarns for Andrea Mowry’s Nightshift shawl.
Working from prepared wool top and spinning for a worsted weight 2-ply yarn, the project spun up quickly and we had our palette ready to go in under 4 weeks!
In other news, we’ve been busy adding all our 'in-stock' Louët inventory to the online shop.
It’s now just a click of a button to shop parts and accessories for our Louët spinning wheel range.
You’ll also find a new addition to our lineup - the Louët S95 Victoria spinning wheel.
The S95 is arguably the lightest (just 3.6kg!) and most portable upright double-treadle spinning wheel on the market today.
Our first S95 wheels will be arriving mid February, pre-orders are now open.
+ FOR A LIMITED TIME LOUËT ARE OFFERING A FREE 40CMX60CM LISA FRAME-LOOM VALUED AT $129 WITH EVERY S10C PURCHASE.
*Offer ends 30th April 2020.
