Keep an extra bobbin ready for your next spin with the Lojan Bobbin for Buddy spinning wheels. With an approximate 200-gram (7-ounce) capacity, it gives you room for substantial singles or plying projects while using the same five spinning ratios supported by the Buddy wheel system.
Extra bobbins are useful when you want to keep different singles, colors, fibers, or projects separate without winding yarn off the bobbin every time you switch what you are spinning.
Made for the Lojan Buddy Family
This bobbin is designed for Lojan Buddy spinning wheels, including the Lojan Buddy Wide Treadle, Lojan Buddy Double Treadle, and Lojan Travel Buddy.
It is also compatible with the Lojan Buddy Essential.
200-Gram Capacity
Each bobbin holds approximately 200 grams (7 ounces) of wool. Actual capacity can vary somewhat depending on the fiber, yarn thickness, and how the bobbin is filled.
Having additional bobbins on hand can be especially useful when spinning multiple singles for plying, working through several colors or fibers, or keeping an unfinished project on its own bobbin while you begin another.
Five Spinning Ratios
The stepped bobbin whorl provides the five ratios used by the Lojan Buddy spinning-wheel system:
This lets the bobbin work across the Buddy's full ratio range without requiring a different bobbin for different spinning speeds.
Materials and Finish
The bobbin combines solid beech with durable POM components. The wood is supplied with a natural finish, allowing you to leave it as-is or apply your preferred compatible wood finish.
