I am a dealer for Louet wheels, equipment , yarns and
fibers. Louet makes sturdy and affordable wheels that are good
for both the beginner and more experienced spinner.The
new 6+ lb Victoria wheel comes in a carry-on suitcase that converts to a backpack. Very cute! I have the

I am also a dealer for Schacht Spindle Company and have small equipment,
spinning wheels, and Wolf Pups in stock. I've used their products
for many years, both personally and in studio classrooms and recommend
them as high quality and cleanly designed. Schacht produces the
Wolf folding looms, Standard floor looms, and the Cranbrook
countermarch loom. See their website at www.schachtspindle.com.
The Baby Wolf & Wolf Pup looms and the Matchless Spinning Wheel are
