Schacht Sidekick
"I love this small wheel. The Sidekick is an engineering marvel and spins like a dream. Extremely well made and very light to move around. This is my 2nd spinning wheel purchase from The Woolery and I couldn't be happier with their customer service and extra careful shipping."
Beginning spinner
"LOVE this wheel! Responsive but manageable for a beginner. Lightweight and easy to haul from my “fiber” room to other areas for spinning without having to fold up. When transporting off the premises it folds easily & puts back together without issue (as long as all the steps are remembered). So glad I purchased!!!"
Love this wheel.
"I love this wheel. I’m not new to spinning, but I wish this would have been my first wheel. I totally recommend it to someone looking to purchase their first wheel. I own several Schacht and Ashford wheels and this is my favorite."
Schacht folding spinning wheel
"I've had this spinning wheel for a couple months. The design is perfect. Folds up for travel which is my favorite feature. Still playing around with plying and tension. Always learning. The Woolery notified me the wheel was back in stock. Shipped the next day. Fantastic little wheel."
Spectacular Sidekick!
"The Schacht Sidekick is truly a spectacular spinning wheel! It's easy to use, has excellent pedal action, is very quiet, and spins wonderfully. It's perfect for those who have space limitations due to its unique design, and it's very easy to fold up when you're on the go. I LOVE my Schacht Sidekick!!"
Love this wheel
"I was very lucky to be able to purchase this wheel and I'm glad I did. It's a dream to spin with and it folds up so compactly. The design is very well thought out. Highly recommend."
Happy customer!
"I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase through The Woolery. Everything came wrapped really well and on time. The spinning wheel is great! I am a beginner spinner and I was able to quickly put it together and start spinning right away. I love that is folds up and is easily transportable. I highly recommend this spinning wheel for beginners and more advanced spinners."
Schacht Sidekick
"I have been waiting for a travel wheel that is a mini Schacht Matchless. It is a great easy to use travel wheel."
Best portable wheel ever!
"I have a Matchless and thought a Sidekick would be a lovely addition to my wheel family. It’s easy to set up/breakdown (with a bit of practice) and a joy to use. I love that it comes with the bag which makes transport worry free. I’m looking forward to traveling to many spin-ins…. or using it outside on my deck!"
