Description

handcrafted shuttle (hummingbird)

Beautifully crafted in the UK from a variety of woods for interest and function. The shuttle's bamboo 'beak' is designed to aid pick-up techniques. It's distinctive style derives from shuttles used by the Chinese weavers of Kesi - a fine silk tapestry technique.

This shuttle is perfect for any weave techniques which require warp selection, such as inlay or Danish medallions, and for the shuttle to slip in and out of the weave easily. Place a thumb over the yarn side exit to control the bobbined weft yarn.

Shuttle size: 20cm from tip to tip
