Schacht Spinning Wheels

Schacht has built spinning wheels in Boulder, Colorado since 1969. Each model serves a different spinner: the Flatiron Saxony for ergonomic studio work, the Matchless for traditional double-drive, the Sidekick for travel, and the Ladybug for first-time spinners. Whorls, bobbins, and flyers cross between models.

Choosing a Schacht spinning wheel

Each wheel in Schacht's lineup is built for a different kind of spinner. The Matchless is the production-tier wheel, double-drive standard with a scotch tension swap, sized for spinners who put real hours on a wheel. The Flatiron is the studio Saxony, three tension modes from one frame, ships flat and assembles in a couple of hours. The Sidekick folds at the hinge and tucks into a closet between sessions, the wheel that goes to the retreat with you. The Ladybug is the first-wheel choice, light enough to learn on without being slight enough to outgrow.

Shared accessory ecosystem

The whorls, bobbins, and standard flyer cross between the Matchless, Flatiron, Sidekick, and Ladybug. A whorl bought today still fits a wheel bought ten years from now, and the Bulky Plyer Flyer turns any of them into a chunky-yarn or plying station. That cross-compatibility is the reason a lot of Schacht owners end up with two wheels, one for the studio and one for travel, both eating from the same accessory drawer.
