Spinning Wheel Cart

This is the neatest way to travel with your Schacht Matchless wheel.  We've used special hardware in the spinning wheel legs for quick attachment and removal of rubber wheels.  A wooden block inserted under the tension knob holds it place and transforms into a handle.  The cart is available separately and can be added at any time.

Dizzy Yarn Gauge

This magical multi-purpose tool will become an indispensable companion to both weavers and spinners.  Sporting 1/2" and 1" measures, the Dizzy Yarn Gauge can be used as a weaver's sett gauge or spinner's yarn gauge, as well as a diz for making a consistent sliver for spinning.

Threading Hook

Our pear-shaped threading hook fits comfortably in the hand, has a screw eye for a hanging string, and a flexible orifice hook.

Collapsible Lazy Kate

We took physics to heart when we designed this Lazy Kate. It's built low to the ground (no  tipping over during plying), has a unique tensioning feature (no more bobbin back-spinning during plying), and accommodates up to three bobbins. It can be easily disassembled, making it easy to transport or pack -- no tools required! Our Kate can be used with other spinning wheel bobbins up to 7" in length. A Collapsible Lazy Kate comes with our Matchless wheels but may be purchased separately.

Whorls

For our spinning wheels we offer a wide spectrum of whorls to aid the handspinner in achieving the best spinning speed for the task at hand. A high speed bobbin is required for high speed and super high speed  whorls when spinning in double drive. (High speed bobbins are not required for Scotch tension mode.)

What Whorl Do I Choose?
It depends...on your treadling rate, the fiber you're spinning, and the type of yarn you want. There are no hard and fast rules about whorls. What is important is that you choose a whorl that helps your wheel do as much of the work for you as possible. In general: the bigger the whorl, the coarser the fiber, the thicker the yarn; the smaller the whorl, the finer the fiber, the smaller the yarn.
