Louët Drop In

Karen Buchananevent reports

On 20th May Pam and Dave dropped in to see us at Strathpeffer on their current UK and Ireland tour. Hailing from Canada they had worked for Louët North American distribution arm but are currently based in Holland knocking the European end into shape.

A dozen members looked in with assorted wheels and looms, all of which Dave gave a good look at and made minor repairs and adjustments at no cost. We got to try out their new e-spinner which is at advanced prototype stage and to offer feedback. Those who have other e-spinners were impressed by its smooth running. Watch this space!

Regarding Louët distribution in Scotland there is now only Jaine Mahon at Skye Silks (who many will remember from a lockdown zoom workshop) – https://www.jainemahon.co.uk . Do contact her for supplies or go direct to Louët for customer service.

Thank you to those who came – especially to an amazing turnout from the NORTH!


Last Minute News – we have been given two ‘lisa’ small frame looms by Pam and David. These will be raffled at the June meeting so please bring extra pennies!
