The Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners, easy
to treadle, easy to take with you, and…as cute as a bug! The Ladybug
has the characteristic solid Schacht construction and its unique
design is both functional and charming. Designed-in carrying handles
in the legs and light weight make the Ladybug easy to pick up and
transport.
The Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel uses Scotch tension, and can also be used
in double drive mode. The Ladybug comes with medium and fast flyer
whorls; the slow and high speed whorls can also be used for a wide
range of ratios.
Included with each Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel are a poly drive
band, threading hook, three bobbins, medium and fast whorls, and
double drive band. Each Ladybug Spinning Wheel is unique - hidden somewhere
on your wheel is your very own cute Ladybug emblem.
Ratios: 9, 11, 13 and 15.5.
Optional accessories: attached tensioned Lazy Kate integrates into the front leg and makes it easy to take along, and Schacht Bulky Plyer Flyer Head
Add plying and bulky yarn spinning capabilities to your Ladybug Spinning Wheel. Features include a generously-sized 7/8” orifice, large capacity bobbin (about 8 ounces), sliding flyer hooks with incremental stops, and large round guide hooks. The Bulky Plyer Flyer comes with its own special front maiden, bulky flyer, and one bulky bobbin. The regular, travel, and high speed Schacht bobbins fit on the bulky flyer shaft, so you don't need to change flyers to use your existing bobbins.
Lazy Kate is integrated into the front of your Ladybug spinning wheel so with you anywhere.
