Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel

The Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners, easy to treadle, easy to take with you, and 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 body and light weight make the Ladybug easy to pick up and transport. An optional attached tensioned Lazy Kate integrates into the front leg and makes it easy to take along, too!

The 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.

Each Ladybug Spinning Wheel is unique - somewhere on your wheel is your very own Ladybug pal.

Hannah (5/5)

Great wheel

"Just got my lady bug after learning to spin on one at a shop. It is just what I was expecting and easy to assemble. It's working well. I wish I would have bought the add on lazy kate instead of the tensioned. But other than that I am super pleased with the wheel and the speed at which it arrived."

Happy with my Ladybug!

"I wanted to wait to review my wheel until I took a class and began using it in earnest. It’s very easy to treadle and I’m really enjoying learning how to use it. It’s also every sturdy, which I appreciate as I move it around a lot. The little bit of assembly was easy and straight forward. The ordering and shipping process was also smooth."

Ladybug

"Have been really studying different wheels to purchase since they are such an investment. Called on the phone to ask some advice and after answering some questions, was guided to the Ladybug. Absolutely love love love her. So easy to use and to move as needed. I appreciated the guidance most of all. The quick delivery was a huge plus. Plan to visit The Woolery when I'm traveling."

Overall great experience

"This is my first spinning wheel and I absolutely love it. It’s cute, easy to store, and came with a starter kit that’s been useful to help me get used to the wheel. The shipping was fast and the packaging was secure. Even being left in the rain for a short while, nothing was damaged. I look forward to continuously using my ladybug."
