Thread Collective is excited to offer Bluster Bay handcrafted shuttles made in a range of Australian timbers. The Honex End Feed Shuttles (EFS) are available in 11" & 15" with open and closed bottoms.
For perfect selvedges and speedy weaving, many weavers prefer end-feed boat shuttles. These boat shuttles use special end-feed bobbins called pirns that do not spin. Rather, the yarn is released off the end of the stationary pirn, through a tensioning device and then out the side of the shuttle.
End-feed Shuttles with 2 Different Tensioning Systems
The Honex tensioner really excels with smooth, evenly spun yarns in a wide range of sizes from very fine silk to 3/2 Perle cotton.
Bluster Bay's traditional hook and eye tensioner works well with handspun or slubby yarns, as well as most commercially spun yarn.
HONEX TENSIONED END-FEED BOAT SHUTTLES
Very easy to thread
Well balanced
Very fine tension adjustment to handle a wide range of yarn weights
Available with either open or closed bottoms

Weavers with small hands
These shuttles are 11.5 inches long, 1.625 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall. The aluminium spindles are spring-loaded and designed to carry our lightweight and inexpensive tapered paper pirns.
