Louet S17 - unfinished

An exceptional wheel for beginning spinners. The S17 features the same quality production as our other wheels (it’s technically identical to the single treadle, Irish-tension S10), but available at a lower price because it is unfinished and in a self-assembly kit.
This wheel can be outfitted with all the same accessories as the S10 (such as adding an Art Yarn Flyer for novelty yarn or a high-speed flyer for fine spinning), allowing the wheel to grow as your skills set does. This wheel is a fabulous introduction to hand spinning at an affordable price.
Features:
Same hardware as S10 – same bobbin size, flyers and other accessories
Unfinished and full assembly required to keep price low
Assembly video available on YouTube channel
