My pop-a-bobbin shuttle arrived late last week from Jane. I tried it out and I like it. The wood is ash and the bobbin is a very dark purple. I love how the hook works. Slightly different from a crochet hook but I think it works well. It does not accidentally get caught on the threads but when you need it for joins, it hooks perfectly. On the whole the shuttle is well made and you know it was made with valuable feedback from experienced tatters. The bobbin does not hold as much thread as the Sewmate shuttle but sufficient. For this pattern I filled the bobbin full equivalent to 12 metres of Size 40 thread.
Nice shuttle!
ReplyDeleteLove that thread and the beads are a lovely, delicate colour. Looks like a nice piece you are tatting with your new friend!

Well you will most certainly be a busy little bee with all that tatting especially with your new Tatting Shuttle. Love the piece that you are tatting now the colours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just recieved my shuttle as well. I also got the ash, and I'm loving it. Your pattern there is looking nice, is it going to be a necklace?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shuttle!
ReplyDeleteI love you tatting with beads, what are you making? I hope we see the finished piece.
That is truly unique and beautiful. Never anything like it.
ReplyDeleteIf you have not read my recent post, this piece is the large cross from Mary Konior's book. Thread is Denim Whisper size 40 from Lizbeth. I love the colours also.
ReplyDeleteImoshen,
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the hook on the pop-a-bobbin shuttle?
