The Best Selection of Handweaving Shuttles from Leclerc
Designed to neatly and compactly store and release the weft yarn, shuttles are passed or thrown back and forth through the shed. The simplest shuttles, known as �stick� shutles are made from a flat, narrow piece of wood with notches on the ends around which the weft is wound. More complicated shuttles incorporate bobbins or pirns, and are usually called �boat� shuttles. All Glim�kra shuttles are made from birch. Glim�kra boat shuttles are perfectly balanced, easy to throw and catch.

For the past few years I have been carving Tatting Shuttles. My Great Grandfather was a wood carver and had carved at least three wooden shuttles from Hickory taken from his farm near Springfield, Illinois. One of those shuttles traveled to Canada and in particular to southern Saskatchewan with my Grandma as she came as…
My first workshop was in Tokyo. Mrs. Nagai picked me up and took me to the workshop. While we were waiting she gave me a beautiful handmade wood shuttle that she had ordered for me a year ago. There were 18 tatters in this workshop. My interpreter was Mrs. Hori. She had spent time in Chicago, St. Louis and New York city while her husband worked in the US. All went smoothly and the ladies seemed to like my new butterfly pattern. I will publish it after my class in Montana. For those that have considered visiting Japan, I would encourage it. Japanese people are the most considerate people in the world; they are courteous, helpful and generous. Public transportation is abundant and easy to use. As you can see by the examples displayed, the Japanese tatters are very good and have very creative ideas. Trophies for this class went to the beaded owls and to the two purses. I hope to have pictures of the tatters soon. The beautiful beaded purse was presented to me as a gift after class. The pattern is from a 2014 book by Tomoko Morimoto.

I recently purchased some pre-cut, but unfinished, inkle shuttles made of walnut wood. The woman I bought them from told me that that it had taken her husband an hour each to hand-sand a beveled edge and finish with tung oil. I hoped that, with the benefit of an orbital sander and a cheapo Dremel-tool knockoff,…

A tatting shuttle is a device which helps you easily carry a small ball of threads across the loops while lace making. A shuttle has a special form which keeps the thread from untwisting.
