On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about building a weaving loom and spindle company with my guests Jane Patrick and Barry Schacht of Schacht Spindle Company.
Jane Patrick has been in the weaving and the textile arts field for over 40 years. Between 1981 and 1992 she was an editor at Interweave Press where she edited HANDWOVEN magazine, books, and Design Collections. Jane is an ardent enthusiast of both the art and craft of the textile arts, with interests in both contemporary and traditional work. Jane is the Creative Director for Schacht Spindle Company. Her current project is developing a textile school at Schacht in Boulder, Colorado.
Barry Schacht, CEO of Schacht Spindle Company, came into the weaving and spinning world by chance, in 1969, when his brother’s girlfriend wanted to learn to spin. From a first commission to make a drop spindle, to creating a loom with little knowledge, Barry has been the guiding light of Schacht Spindle Company, now housed in a 33,000 square foot building and employing 50 employees.

Thank you Abby for the very interesting interview with Barry Schacht and Jane Patrick of Schacht Spindle. It was wonderful to hear about them and the success of the company. As a Weaver for more than 40 years, I have and continue to utilize an assortment of quality Schacht products. I met these two at TNNA many years ago and discovered to my delight that Barry knew my members of my mother’s extended family which led to a family reunion and to which dozens of cousins benefitted.
