If your current wheel limits your technique or simply doesn’t inspire, you’re not alone. The Schacht Flatiron is a thoughtfully designed, modern Saxony-style spinning wheel that combines beauty and versatility, empowering spinners with full control and fluid movement.
PROMOTION
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.
Key Features & Benefits
Saxony-style wheel with a contemporary twist, beautiful and practical
Left- or right-handed flyer configuration for personal comfort
If the Schacht item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 8 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
The Flatiron Spinning Wheel rises from a flat-packed box much like Boulder’s iconic Flatirons tilted up from a once-horizontal position. Sit down and feel the majesty of this rock-solid wheel.
This video demonstrates how to assemble Schacht's Flatiron Spinning Wheel, step by step.
How does the Flatiron's assembly accommodate left or right-handed spinners?
The Flatiron can be assembled with the flyer on either the left or right side, catering to both left and right-handed spinners.
What materials are used in the Flatiron's construction?
The Flatiron is crafted from formed maple ply with a plastic drive wheel, providing durability, resistance to warping common to all wood wheels exposed to varying climate, and a sleek appearance.
How does the Flatiron compare to other Schacht wheels in terms of versatility?
The Flatiron offers multiple tension systems, a broad range of ratios with optional whorls, and customizable flyer positions, making it one of Schacht's most versatile wheels.
Is the Flatiron suitable for spinning fine yarns?
Yes, with ratios up to 26:1, the Flatiron is well-suited for spinning fine yarns.
How does the quick-release lever benefit spinners during use?
The quick-release lever allows for easy and swift bobbin changes, enhancing spinning efficiency.
How does the Flatiron's drive wheel size impact spinning performance?
The 22.5-inch drive wheel contributes to the large range of ratios available and provides substantial momentum, facilitating smooth and efficient spinning.
How does the Flatiron's design accommodate different spinning techniques?
With the ability to choose between Scotch tension, Irish tension, or double drive systems, standard or an optional bulky plyer flyer, additional whorls, and customizable flyer positions, the Flatiron supports the spinner in a wide range of spinning techniques and styles to create almost any yarn they can dream of.
