This variation on the original S-10 uses Scotch tension, where the drive band turns the flyer and the flyer turns the bobbin. It adds a different look from the original "solid" wheel by offering spoked versions: 3-spoke or 5-spoke.

Like all Louet wheels, the spoked S-10 has maintenance free ball bearings in the main hub and at the footman connection, a poly drive belt and simple leather brake--what can go wrong? The built-in lazy kate and simplicity of the wheel make it great for workshops. Traditionally suited to spinning medium and heavier yarns, the Scotch tension S-10 offers finer control over the tension, which makes it easier to spin fine yarns. The S-10 is made of lacquered beech with birch plywood. The standard features include:

• orifice height: 27.5 inches
• orifice size: .5 inch
• 3 bobbins
• built-in lazy kate for 2 bobbins
• ratios: 4, 5, and 6 to 1
• weight: 15 lb.
