The Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners. It’s easy to treadle, easy to take with you, and…as cute as a bug!
The superb Flatiron Spinning Wheel is customizable; you can build it with either the flyer on the left or the right. With self-aligning bearings in the maidens, and a fully adjustable drive wheel, the whole system is sure to spin true. The clever quick-release lever makes changing out bobbins trouble-free.
The Matchless Spinning Wheel is the most responsive Schacht spinning wheel available today. Whether you prefer single-treadle or double-treadle action, you’ll appreciate our wheel’s matchless capabilities.
The new S10 Concept spinning wheel makes it possible to customise your dream wheel.
