DESCRIPTION

For many spinners, the biggest challenge isn’t finding time to spin, it’s finding a way to take spinning with you. The Schacht Sidekick Folding Spinning Wheel is thoughtfully designed for makers who want freedom and flexibility without sacrificing performance. Lightweight, foldable, and fully functional, this travel-friendly wheel folds down quickly and easily, making it ideal for spinning on the road, at retreats, or in your garden studio.

The Sidekick used to come with a carry bag, but this is now available as an optional add-on, perfect if you’d like extra protection and portability for your wheel.

Gone are the days of bulky equipment holding you back. The Sidekick offers smooth treadling, a tall orifice height for comfort, and a wide range of spinning ratios to suit everything from beginner-friendly singles to fast plying. And if you already own a Schacht flyer system from the Ladybug, Matchless, or Flatiron, you can share parts across wheels, making it even more versatile.

Before, travel meant leaving spinning behind. Now, it means spinning more, more freely, more comfortably, and more creatively. The Sidekick is your reliable companion in motion, always ready when inspiration strikes.
