Schacht Spinning Wheel Whorls

What whorl do I choose?

It depends...on your treadling rate, the fiber you're spinning, and the type of yarn you want.  There are no hard and fast rules about whorls.  What is important is that you choose a whorl that helps your wheel do as much of the work for you as possible.  In general: the bigger the whorl, the coarser the fiber, the thicker the yarn; conversely, the smaller the whorl, the finer the fiber, the smaller the yarn.

Extra Slow Speed Whorl, ratios of 4:1 & 4 1/2:1...$25.00**

Slow Speed Whorl, ratios of 6:1 & 7 1/2:1...$22.00

 

Medium Speed Whorl (comes with wheel), ratios of 9:1 & 11:1...$22.00

Fast Speed Whorl (comes with wheel), ratios of 13:1 & 15 1/2:1...$22.00

 

*High Speed Whorl, ratios of 17 1/2:1 & 19 1/2:1...$22.00

*Super High Speed Whorl, ratios of 18 1/2:1 & 22:1...$22.00**

*Schacht recommends using the high speed bobbin with these whorls.
**Not recommended for Ladybug Spinning Wheel.

Note:  When using the older Schacht High Speed Bobbin with the Super and Exceptionally High Speed Whorls, you will find that the yarn winds on the bobbin in the opposite direction.  If you have an older High Speed Bobbin, you can have it sent back to be re-cut to the new High Speed Bobbin size.  Contact me for more info regarding this.
