Ladybug Spinning Wheel | Pre-Order

$2,299.00

Schacht

Schacht’s Ladybug Spinning Wheel is the precocious incarnation of a traditional castle style wheel.

With its statement making red polyurethane drive wheel and slick maple ply construction, the Ladybug offers the complete package at any skill level.

A modular design encourages you to customise your experience. Alternate between Scotch-tension and double-drive modes, and incrementally adjust your spin using the factory set-up that’s geared for four speeds.

The list of optional extras is generous with further whorl sizes for slow or super-fast spinning, an integrated tensioned lazy Kate system and a bulky flyer package all available.

Three integrated carry handles make the Ladybug easy to pick up and transport, and adjustable front feet are certainly handy when you’re spinning on more adventurous terrain.

Among its many features, it’s the long comfortable treadles and centred orifice that will provide comfort and support, spin after spin.

Schacht guarantees that every wheel is unique - somewhere on your Ladybug Spinning Wheel you’ll find your very own ladybug!

Available now for pre-order. Expected delivery, approx. 8-10 weeks.
