Weaver’s Boat Shuttles

Two wooden boat shuttles for spinning

Patterned after a classic design by Ed Bosworth, Jonathan’s father, our own Boat Shuttles are made in beautifully hand-finished woods. No matter which wood you choose, you will enjoy weaving with these smooth shuttles.

These Boat Shuttles are a perfect fit for our own Bosworth Charkha Spindles.
You can also use them with Harrisville or Leclerc standard 4″ bobbins
or your own paper bobbins.

Note: Our Shuttles cannot be used with the spindles from an Indian book charkha, and our Charkha Spindles do not fit the Bluster Bay shuttles meant for Indian book charkhas.

Spindle Dimensions: 11 1⁄2” long  x  1 5⁄8” wide*  x  1 1⁄4” tall*

Bobbin Well: 1 1⁄4” wide  x  1 1⁄8” deep   x  4 3⁄16” long**

*at widest/tallest point      ** to accommodate standard 4″ bobbins
