The Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners. It's easy to treadle, easy to take with you, and as 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 legs and light weight make the Ladybug convenient 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 can be used in Scotch tension and double drive modes. Each Ladybug wheel is unique—somewhere on your wheel is your very own ladybug pal.
