Little Victoria by Louet found her way to my house and joined the Rowena Spinning Wheel Family. Victoria was made in Holland.
Victoria is now among my Jensen Saxony (Oak), Ashford Elizabeth II, and Majacraft Suzi Pro.
Suzi Pro is sitting in front of a photo of our son Erik at age 2. We were sailing near San Diego. It was his second birthday and we were celebrating it on my sister and her husbands boat. At that time we lived near Schlesweg, Germany in a small town by the name of Jagel.
Back to Victoria! Louet describes her on their web site as, "not like your everyday spinning wheel. It's light, portable and incredibly easy to use. The Victoria has been designed with precision and care, from advice received by today's hand spinner".
The Little Victoria weighs only 6lbs and it is light enough to go anywhere. My trips to Sharlot Hall on Mondays will get even easier! She will be great to carry on an airplane. Victoria has a ratio range of 6:1 to 12:1 and her optional high speed range is 6:1 to 25:1. She folds in half and fits in a nice little bag. Victoria comes in Contemporary Beech, but I have the Classic Oak.
