Built for the wanderer

📦

Folds in seconds

Quick-release levers let you collapse the wheel and pack your tools inside. No disassembly, no lost parts.

🎯

Smooth, precise tension

Scotch tension with a fine control knob. Ball-bearing drive wheel and self-aligning flyer mean a quiet, even treadle.

🔄

Wide ratio range

From 4:1 to 13:1 across interchangeable whorls — spin laceweight, bulky, or anything in between with the same drive band.

🪵

Danish oil finish

Solid birch construction finished in Danish oil that warms with age. Comfortable long treadles for hours of spinning.

Why it's different

The Problem

Travel wheels compromise

Most portable wheels feel toy-like — wobbly treadles, jerky tension, limited ratios. You end up leaving your good wheel at home and settling for a frustrating spin on the road.

The Solution

Full-size performance, folded

The same bearing quality and smooth treadle feel as a stationary studio wheel. Bobbins, flyer, and whorls are compatible with other Schacht wheels, so your travel wheel shares parts with your home one.

The Result

Spin on every trip

Take it to fiber festivals, retreats, the cottage, or just spin in front of the TV. At 13 pounds, it travels like a piece of luggage and spins like a wheel that belongs in the studio.

Good to know

About 30 seconds. Release the levers, fold the treadles, and the wheel collapses flat. Bobbins and flyer store inside the body for transport.

Yes. It uses the same bobbins, whorls, and flyer as the Matchless, Flatiron, and Ladybug. If you already own those, your parts swap right over.

Long, comfortable treadles on ball bearings. Spinners report hours of comfortable spinning without wrist or foot fatigue.

The ratio range covers laceweight to bulky. Swap whorls to adjust — the drive band tension adjuster lets one drive band work across all whorls.
