Bobbin Winders | Schacht

A smooth, well-balanced bobbin winder makes all the difference in the studio. Schacht’s beautifully crafted winders are built for efficiency, stability, and long-term use — turning the practical task of winding into a satisfying part of the weaving process.

Available in Single-End and Double-End versions, each winder is designed with precision engineering and thoughtful materials. Choosing the right model depends on the type of shuttle you use.

Single-End Bobbin Winder

The Schacht Single-End Bobbin Winder is designed for winding standard bobbins used in boat shuttles. Solid, reliable, and easy to clamp to a table or bench, it provides steady, even winding with minimal effort.

Best For:

• Boat shuttle bobbins

• Floor looms and table looms

• Everyday studio weaving

Features:

• Smooth hand-crank operation

• Table clamp included

• Durable construction for long-term studio use

• Compatible with standard weaving bobbins

If you weave primarily with boat shuttles, this is the classic and dependable choice.

Double-End Bobbin Winder

The Schacht Double-End Bobbin Winder is essential for weavers using end-delivery shuttles.

Unlike standard bobbins, pirns require winding from both ends, which can only be done properly with a double-end winder. If you are using (or purchasing) a Schacht End-Delivery Shuttle from Lamm, this is the correct tool for winding the pirns.

Necessary For:

• Winding pirns

• Schacht End-Delivery Shuttles (12" and 15")

• Studio setups using controlled weft delivery systems

Features:

• Dual-ended shaft for correct pirn winding

• Smooth, even yarn build for balanced weft release

• Clamp for secure attachment to table or bench

• Durable, studio-grade construction

Without a double-end winder, pirns cannot be wound correctly — making this an essential companion tool for end-delivery shuttle users.

Specifications

• Material: Hardwood and metal components

• Mounting: Table clamp included

• Operation: Manual hand crank

• Made by: Schacht Spindle Company, USA
