  Louet Victoria for SALE

*******SOLD*******

I am selling my Louet Victoria. She is in excellent condition. I just bought a Majacraft Rose and am getting the Little Gem so I can use the bobbins on both wheels.

She is about a year old and has very little spinning mileage on her. Mine is the S96 (Oak)

The S96 - Solid Oak frame with a MDF and Oak veneer wheel and treadles.
The wheel has three holes, giving the effect of a spoked wheel.

Specifications: System: scotch tension Weight: 3.5 kg (7.7 pounds) Folded size: 14 x 36 x 55 cm (5-1/2” x 14” x 21”) The S95/S96 is more compact and lighter than any wheel currently on the market.

The flyer and bobbins need to be taken off the wheel to obtain these folded sizes. The bobbins and flyer do fit within these sizes. A bobbin rack for plying is built into the bag.

Ratios: 6:1, 8.5:1 & 13:1 Bobbin capacity: about 120 gr (4.5 ounces) Orifice: 9 mm (3/8”)

The S96 Oak Wheel is supplied with a bag for storage and carrying the wheel, fiber and yarn easier. This bag can be carried as a hand bag, a shoulder bag or as a back pack.

I live in Ellicott City, Maryland if anyone is interested to pick her up or I can ship her out to you if you live farther away. Paypal is my choice of payment.

The price is $700 including shipping. I will send photos if you would like just let me know.

  I’m going to get on the Ball now!!

Maryland Sheep and Wool was wooly and wonderful…but oh so HOT and HUMID!!! For some reason I start slacking off on my knitting just as the weather starts warming up from the Big Bad Winter. MD Sheep & Wool always give me the incentive and push to start working on all my knitting projects. I also get the spinning fever once again. Woohoo for Spring!!!

I have some photos I’ll post later from the festival…but now I need to go outside for a nice long walk since it is not snowing or raining…see you later!
BEWARE...Lots of photos…

Tanya and Donna

Tanya in TOTAL concentration!!!

Help me!

This little lamb was soooo adorable and cuddly too!!! I want one!

Sweet Donna!

Tanya & Heather

That’s all the pics I took of the festival. Oh well…it was too hot & humid to think too much.

Guess what???? I got a new Spinning wheel!!!!! It is a Majacraft Rose. Talk about an object of Beauty…I’m calling her Fanny Rose. My Grandma’s name was Fanny & my maiden name was Rosenbloom…so I had to get her! Have a look…


I notice that the spokes are different than any other Rose I have seen. They must have just changed the design. Either way…I LOVE her!!!

Beautiful Rose Tatoo

This is the first I have spun on her with the 8.7 ratio and it looks better than I ever did on my Louet Victoria.


Fanny Rose by the Fireplace

I have been spinning everyday (on my Victoria) since MD Sheep & Wool & loving every minute of it. Now…I have my Rose & can’t wait to improve my spinning!!!
Don’t you just love her?

Here are a couple photos before I leave you…

A cherry tree outside my house

Look at that gorgeous blue sky!!!

Weeping Cherries on my front yard

I’ll show some knitting next time.
Have a fabulous Day!!!
