What an incredible year we’ve had! 2024 marked the very first year we could deliver our products, and what a journey it has been. We look back with pride and gratitude on a year filled with new challenges, memorable moments, and, most of all, the amazing enthusiasm from you—our customers and partners.
Products that reflect our passion
This year, we launched a complete range of products designed to support the creative process of spinning and weaving. From our Buddy spinning wheels to the inkle loom, drop spindles, hand carders, and more—everything has been designed and produced with care.
We are particularly proud of our inkle looms, which, with over 450 sold, have become our best-selling product of 2024. Our spinning wheels were also a big success, with more than 550 finding their way to spinners around the world. We’re thrilled with these results and the enthusiastic responses we’ve received.
In addition, we introduced hand carders and drop spindles, featuring unique designs developed collaboratively by our team. For example, the drop spindles originated from an idea by Sanne and have evolved into a beautiful product that appeals to both beginner and experienced spinners alike.
New: Budget Buddy
To keep spinning accessible for a wide audience, we introduce the Budget Buddy.
This is an affordable version of our popular Buddy spinning wheels, offering the same delightful spinning experience at a lower price: € 335. The Budget Buddy comes with a single treadle, a built-in lazy kate and three bobbins.
The Budget Buddy is available now and is perfect for anyone starting out with spinning or looking for a budget-friendly, reliable wheel.
Improvements
At Lojan, we are constantly working on improvements, and this year we’ve learned a lot from the experiences and feedback of our users. We particularly addressed some initial issues with our spinning wheels:
- The flyer axle was extended, and a new bearing plate was developed to keep the flyer securely in place.
- De verbinding van het trapstokje aan het wiel en aan de trapper verbeterd, aangezien deze soms los kwam.
- Minor adjustments have been made, and a bottle of oil is now included to ensure an even smoother and quieter spinning experience.
These updates have been implemented in all new spinning wheels, ensuring a flawless experience for future users. If you still encounter an issue, please feel free to reach out to your reseller or contact us directly—we’re always happy to help.
Working with partners
We started the year with 15 resellers who believed in our project—even before we could deliver any products. Today, we collaborate with more than 50 partners across 16 countries. Their dedication and enthusiasm have been essential to our success, and we’re incredibly proud and grateful for these partnerships.

Looking ahead to 2025
While we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, we’re also excited about what’s to come.
In February, we’ll be implementing a small price increase for our spinning wheels and inkle looms. If you’re planning to purchase one of these, January would be a great time to do so!
In addition, we’re launching our new Flex looms in spring 2025. These table looms are designed for both beginners and experienced weavers and can be easily adjusted to suit your needs. The rigid heddle version will be released first, followed by the 4- and 8-shaft looms and conversion kits. We can’t wait to share these wonderful products with you!
Thank you!
Finally, we want to thank you — our customers, partners, and followers. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and support make everything we do possible. We look forward to making 2025 just as special together with you.
