One Word
my new spinning wheel
Wow.
They don’t call it the matchless for nothing- this is one amazing wheel. Everything seems to go faster, smoother and just plain more enjoyably on this wheel. It was love at first treadle.
I have one bobbin of merino/bamboo spun up and will probably have the other done tomorrow. Then I think I’ll use my first-ever skein from the matchless and weave it into something on my lovely Schacht flip loom.
I am so smitten with this wheel I can’t imagine ever wanting another one. Except, some day, a walnut Kromski Sonata for travel. But this is definitely my forever wheel. To prove my commitment, I even have a woolee winder and some high-speed bobbins ordered.
I am officially a Schacht convert. Now all I need is a baby wolf loom…

Congratulations and happy spinning! Can’t wait to see what comes off the wheel… ;)
I read recently that Schacht is working on a travel wheel, and I think it might even use the same bobbins/lazy kate!
I’m currently trying to resist the allure of a loom myself, good luck with that :)
I feel the same way. I LOVE my Matchless. I’ve spun miles (Literally, miles!) in the few months I’ve owned it. it’s fantastic. Now, if they’d get that jumbo flyer into production, we can all spin MORE yarn.
