Lojan Buddy Double Treadle Spinning Wheel

Lojan Buddy Double Treadle Spinning Wheel – Comfortable spinning with balance and precision

The Lojan Buddy double-treadle spinning wheel is ideal for anyone who wants to spin smoothly, quietly, and for extended periods. Thanks to the double-treadle footplate, the wheel can be driven with exceptional balance and minimal effort – perfect for ambitious beginners as well as experienced spinners.

The Buddy double treadle impresses with its modern, compact design and exceptionally ergonomic operation. The smooth thread feed is based on the proven Dutch Tension System and ensures even thread tension with minimal resistance – ideal for fine and thick yarns as well as art yarns.

The flyer is designed with an open layout, allowing for easy insertion of the yarn without any cumbersome threading. The five ratios offer you complete creative freedom, whether you're spinning lightweight lace yarn or bulky novelty yarn.

Key features - Thought through down to the last detail:

• Double step system
  Two independently movable footplates enable exceptionally smooth and quiet spinning – ideal for long sessions without fatigue. Perfect for anyone who values ergonomics and balance.

• Dutch Tension tensioning system
  This improved braking system allows for fine adjustment of the yarn tension. This makes the Buddy suitable for both fine yarns and thick or textured spinning projects.

• Open inlet guide with reduction option
  The yarn is simply inserted, without a threading aid. The 18 mm feed opening can be reduced to 12 mm if needed – ideal for controlled work with thin yarn.

• Five translation ratios
  With ratios of 1:4, 1:6, 1:9, 1:13 and 1:18, the spinning wheel covers a wide speed range - from slow feed rates for art yarns to fast, fine yarns.

• Large coil volume
  Each of the four included spools holds approximately 200g of yarn, meaning fewer interruptions and ideal for large projects such as sweaters or blankets.

• Solid and veneered beech wood
  High-quality workmanship ensures stability and durability. The untreated surface allows you to customize it – whether by oiling, waxing, or varnishing.

• Compact design with a 41 cm wheel diameter
  Despite its compact size, the Buddy offers a smooth, powerful run - ideal for small workspaces or mobile use.
