Boat Shuttles

We offer a large selection of shuttles. All of our shuttles are made of hard maple and are finely sanded and hand finished  with a Danish oil. Our boat shuttles are periodically offered in specialty woods, such as oak and cherry, and more exotic woods such as purple heart and lace wood. Boat Shuttles  Our boat shuttles are beautifully shaped and well balanced. They are sanded smooth and then given a hand-rubbed Danish oil finish. Four sizes are available: 9", 11", 13", and 15". Our smallest boat shuttle, the 9" mini, is styled after a Japanese silk shuttle. This duck-nosed shuttle is wonderful for narrow widths and fine yarns. Our most popular boat shuttle, the 11" boat shuttle, is offered in slim and regular models with closed-bottom and open-bottom styles. Our two largest boat shuttles are 13" and 15" long, and can handle fine to medium weight yarns. Because of their extra length and yarn capacity, weavers often choose these shuttles for wider weaving widths. We also offer slim and regular double-bobbin boat shuttles which are ideal for doubled weft threads. Two separate bobbin shafts make it possible to remove one bobbin at a time. All boat shuttles are available in hard maple and some models are also available in cherry.
