Louët Jenn-E Electric Spinning Wheel
A modern electric spinning wheel inspired by the history of spinning.
The Louët Jenn-E is a compact electric spinning wheel (e-spinner) designed for spinners who want power, precision and versatility in a portable format. Combining Louët’s renowned craftsmanship with modern technology, the Jenn-E delivers a smooth and efficient spinning experience whether you spin at home, in workshops or while travelling.
The name Jenn-E pays tribute to the spinning jenny, one of the earliest mechanized spinning machines invented by James Hargreaves in 1764. By referencing this milestone in textile history, Louët highlights the evolution from early mechanical spinning devices to modern electric spinning wheels.
One of the most distinctive features of the Jenn-E is its unique 2-in-1 tension system, allowing the spinner to choose between Scotch tension (ScT) and Irish tension (IrT). This rare combination provides exceptional flexibility and allows the wheel to adapt to different fibers, yarn styles and spinning techniques.
