The elegant design of the formed maple ply body calls upon the same drama that makes the Flatirons so striking. This unique Saxony-style wheel is anything but traditional, much like the Schacht’s hometown of Boulder, Colorado. The superb Flatiron Spinning Wheel is customizable; you can build it with either the flyer on the left or the right. With self-aligning bearings in the maidens, and a fully adjustable drive wheel, the whole system is sure to spin true. The clever quick-release lever makes changing out bobbins trouble-free. The Flatiron Spinning Wheel can be set up in all three tension systems  (Scotch tension, double drive, and bobbin lead). The Flatiron comes with medium and fast whorls; the extra slow, slow, high, and super high speed whorls can also be used for a wide range of rations. Included accessories: poly drive band, threading hook, 3 travel bobbins, medium and fast whorls, and a double drive band. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vd-text-body vd-util-text-overflow-break-word\"\u003eSpinning Ratios: Whorl Ratios Extra Slow 4.6:1 \u0026amp; 5.2:1 Slow 6.8:1 \u0026amp; 8.5:1 Medium 10.4:1 \u0026amp; 12.4:1 Fast 15:1 \u0026amp; 17.4:1 High 20:1 \u0026amp; 24.2:1 Super High 21.2:1 \u0026amp; 26.1:1 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vd-text-body vd-util-text-overflow-break-word\"\u003eAvailable Accessories: Schacht Tensioned Lazy Kate Bulky Plyer Flyer extra slow, slow, high speed, and super high speed whorls See it in action here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Schacht Spindle Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48718301823263,"sku":"12879","price":3610.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/9632\/7967\/files\/Schacht_Flatiron_Spinning_Wheel_1dee60d4-06be-4d09-b7d2-79fd336c2a55.jpg?v=1718956458"},{"product_id":"schacht-spindle-heddle-hook-short","title":"Schacht Heddle Hook","description":"\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe\u003cb\u003e Schacht Heddle Hook\u003c\/b\u003e is used for threading multi-shaft weaving looms. The Schacht heddle hooks are available in two lengths to suit a 4 or 8 shaft weaving loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSelecting a heddle hook of the correct size will assist with your threading, the long blade will assist in reaching the back shafts.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eShort hook has a 4-1\/2\" blade length and a wood handle—recommended for rigid heddle reeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong hook has a 7-1\/2\" blade length and a wood handle—the long blade reaches shaft loom heddles easily, whether you're warping back to front or front to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Schacht Spindle Company","offers":[{"title":"Short","offer_id":48718304149791,"sku":"12813","price":25.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long","offer_id":51701342503199,"sku":"WW7301","price":25.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/9632\/7967\/files\/Schacht_Heddle_Hook_Short_e4ee555c-5d9d-4965-a968-93040e83270d.jpg?v=1718956452"},{"product_id":"schacht-ladybug","title":"Schacht Ladybug","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners.
