Louet's Julia (S11) is a full sized spinning wheel with scotch tension. The Julia is easy to assemble and disassemble if need be.

The Julia is really a Victoria version of the S51DT. Bobbins, flyer and the Scotch tension are the same as on the Victoria.

There are four ratios: 1:6, 1:8.5, 1:12.5, 1:19. An optional high speed kit is available, see below.

A removable insert provides two orifice sizes (12mm and 8mm). All rotating parts run on ball bearings for smooth operation, while the unit itself is constructed out of beech and birch plywood, with a lacquered beech exterior finish.

The Julia comes standard with a stand-alone 3 bobbin Lazy Kate with an adjustable brake.

High Speed Set - The high speed kit, an optional accessory for the Julia, is priced at $193.47** and includes a flyer, 3 bobbins, a small whorl (you have to add this small whorl to the existing whorl) plus a hook for threading the yarn through the orifice and the flyer hole. This kit is available in beech to match the Julia. The orifice is 5 mm, but you can take out the inserts to create an 8 or 12 mm orifice. Ratio is 1:27, instructions are included with the set.
