What Is Dutch Tension? A Unique System by Jan Louët

🔍 What is Dutch tension?
The Dutch tension is an improved version of the Irish tension system.
On a spinning wheel equipped with Dutch tension, the bobbin lead system ensures smooth operation, while the aerodynamic flyer design reduces the pull on the yarn.
The result is:
✅ Easy take-up
✅ Light tension
✅ Optimal control, making it ideal for spinning both fine and bulky yarns
This system is perfect for beginners, as well as experienced spinners who want to spin a variety of textures without constant adjustments.
