DESCRIPTION

When a wheel feels like an extension of your hands, the creative possibilities truly open up. The Schacht Flatiron Spinning Wheel was built for that moment when comfort, function, and artistry meet. With its clean maple ply curves and balanced engineering, this is a wheel that doesn’t just look good; it spins beautifully, too.

Its upright Saxony design offers a grounded spinning experience with a modern twist. You can choose which side to mount your flyer, left or right, making it equally at home with left-handed or right-handed spinners. The self-aligning bearings, in the maidens, and adjustable drive wheel ensure smooth transitions through fibre types and spinning styles, while the quick-release lever makes bobbin swaps wonderfully simple.

Whether you’re a technical spinner exploring fine laceweight or a relaxed treadler working with lofty singles, the Flatiron adapts to your pace, your rhythm, your vision. It’s a wheel that supports your craft as it evolves, right from the first spin to the thousandth skein.
