The newest wheel from Louet!
Julia is a Victoria version of the S51DT model.

Built to the high-quality standards that you have come to expect from Louet equipment, this full size, upright wheel is easy to use. The bobbins, flyer and Scotch Tension system are the same as used on the popular Victoria wheel. The high speed set for the beech Victoria will also fit the Julia.

Specifications:
Orifice is 12mm with a removable insert to create 8mm for fine spinning. The opening is 70.5 cm (approx 28") above the floor.
The ratios are 1:6, 1:8.5, 1:12.5, 1:19, with an optional high speed flyer available to give you 1:27. Main wheel diameter is 50cm (approx 20").
The volume of the bobbins is 25 cubic inches (same as Victoria). The lazy kate is stand-alone and you can adjust the brake for the bobbins that come with it.

Constructed of lacquered beech and birch plywood, it weighs approximately 12 lbs.

Please note that this wheel does not fold but the base can be easily disassembled from the upright for storage or travel.

1/2 lb of carded wool roving with each wheel purchase.
