WELCOME | Schacht Flatiron Spinning Wheel

True to form, Schacht’s contribution to the world of traditional Saxony-style spinning wheels is anything but conventional. Built for consistency and speed the Schacht Flatiron is a modular, multi-drive spinning machine.

Made from formed maple ply the Flatiron includes all Schacht’s clever design features that we’ve come to regard, like quick release levers for easy bobbin and flyer changes, self-aligning bearings for precise action, and three drive modes for Scotch tension, double-drive or bobbin-lead configurations.

Completely customizable, the wheel can be assembled straight out of the box with the flyer on either the left or the right, and with double-treadle action you’re guaranteed an ergonomic spin.

Optional extras include the Schacht Bulky Plyer Flyer, and a range of whorl sizes from the ‘Extra-Slow’ up to the ‘Super High’ with a mind-boggling ratio of 26.1:1. 

Shipped with three Travel Bobbins, Medium and Fast whorls, a threading hook and both a cotton and poly drive band, you’ll have lots to explore with the Schacht Flatiron Spinning Wheel.
