![]() Like all our other wheels, we have used the best components available for Luna. We are thrilled to be adding this new wheel to our range of quality, spinning wheels. Two art yarns spun on Luna with the Aura flyer.Although art yarns are not the Luna’s main forte with its use of Scotch tension, just like our other wheels, it will certainly allow you to comfortably fill a bobbin full of art yarn, when the mood grabs you! It will also fit the jumbo bobbins and Aura flyer for bulky and art yarns, or for plying larger quantities of yarn. A light lacey Polwarth yarn, combed from locks with angelina and silk added, spun and plyed on Luna.It will appeal to beginners for its friendliness in set-up and ease of use, and will also appeal to intermediate and experienced spinners who will immediately notice how silent and smooth it is in use.Īdditionally of course, this wheel will fit most of our accessories, Suzy has especially enjoyed using the Lace kit with the fast pulley (ratios are 10:1 – 18:1) and has made some lovely light and lacey yarns. We have put a lot of thought into this, and our experience spinning with Luna over the last year, plus feedback from people who have tried it, suggest that this is the ideal wheel for people who love to spin fine and traditional yarns, who want a wheel with a smaller footprint but remains stable and smooth to spin on, who love something edgy and unique in the aesthetics and is built from sustainable wood. ![]() The rotation of the drive wheel matching the direction of the stem enhances the stability of the Luna in amazing ways. We designed Luna to run on a drive band instead, using the super reliable Little Gem crank as a foundation which provides a really natural feel to spinning. Many spinning wheels with this kind of orientation have a direct drive system that uses the treadles to turn a small rubber wheel that sits against the side of the drive wheel, turning it with friction. ![]() An interesting aspect of Luna is the orientation of the drive wheel, with the spin direction towards or away from the spinner.
