This past fall, I was all sad about not being able to take my Matchless to SOAR with me. Meanwhile, Schacht was already hard at work on designing a new travel wheel. Schacht has just released the price and it’s going to be $785 USD for the Schacht Sidekick and only $665 for the option without the flyer and bobbins (uses the same flyer and bobbins as the Matchless and Ladybug). There’s also an option to purchase the Bulky Flyer package for the Sidekick.
Schacht is taking orders now and planning on shipping the first wheels around May.
If you’re wondering about the differences between all the wheels, check out Schacht’s great spinning wheel comparison chart here. Will I be at SOAR with a new Sidekick?! Hmm…
