The Buddy Spinning Wheel with double treadles is produced by Lojan.
Buddy has 5 ratios (1:4 to 1:18) and an orifice of 18 or 12 mm. The 12 mm orifice insert ensures that your thread does not wobble.
As it has a double treadle, you can still operate it with one foot or both.
The Buddy spinning wheel, comes with four bobbins and a stand-alone Lazy Kate, which holds three bobbins. Each bobbin has a capacity of around 200gms, ideal for large projects. Ideal for both spinning thick, thin or art yarn.
The Buddy spinning wheel is made of solid beech and laminated beech. The construction is easy to assemble yourself.
The spinning wheel has Dutch tension, an aerodynamic design of the flyer, delivers very little pull on the yarn. Sliding guides with an opening through for inserting the yarn is another super feature of the Lojan Buddy.
