Meet the Lout S10 Concept Double Treadle Spinning Wheel a modern reimagining of Lout’s original classic first introduced over 50 years ago. This updated version features a durable 5-spoke main wheel, smooth Scotch tension, and a double treadle design for effortless spinning. Whether you’re a new spinner or a seasoned fiber artist, the S10 Concept delivers precision, portability, and long-lasting performance.
Designed for Control, Comfort, and Longevity
- Double Treadle Comfort: Spin longer with less fatigue. The double treadle design distributes motion evenly across both feet for smoother control, especially helpful at higher speeds or when plying.
- Scotch Tension System: A flyer-led drive system with adjustable bobbin brake gives you fine-grained control over take-upideal for spinning everything from laceweight yarn to thick-and-thin art yarns.
- Adjustable Ratios: Spin at 6:1, 8:1, 13:1, or 20:1 for flexibility across different fibers and yarn styles.
- Removable Orifice Insert: Switch between 8 mm and 12 mm openings depending on the yarn type and fiber prep youre using.
- Sturdy, Modern Design: Made from lacquered beech and birch plywood with a smooth, quiet drive system and low-maintenance ball bearings.
What’s Included
- Lout S10 Concept 5-Spoke Wheel with Scotch Tension (Double Treadle)
- Standard Flyer with Sliding Hook
- 3 Bobbins
- Built-in Lazy Kate

Compact, Portable & Easy to Assemble
Although it doesn’t fold, the Lout S10 Concept is designed for easy transport. The treadle base detaches from the upright wheel for quick breakdown. With a total weight of just 12 lbs and a footprint width of 16.5″, its ideal for small studios or mobile spinners attending workshops and guild meetups.
Low-Maintenance, High-Performance
- Maintenance-Free Bearings: No lubrication required at the main wheel hub or footman connection.
- Tension Tips: Use the tension knob to dial in the brake band tension as your bobbin fills. Clockwise adds twist (great for fine yarn), counter-clockwise reduces take-up (perfect for bulkier yarns).
- Storage Note: For best results, move the drive band off the groove during long breaks in spinning to prevent stretching.
