Yes, ladies and gents, I am the proud owner of two new Tatted Shuttles from Chris Hinton at The Shuttle Shop! I sent Chris some pieces to play with a couple of weeks ago, and I am thrilled with the way they turned out!
The small shuttle is 2-1/8" by 1-1/8". The thread is DMC 70/80... I'm not sure which. The larger one is 3" by 1-3/4". The thread is size 40 HDT from Krystledawne. I'll be testing them soon, and I'll let you know how much thread they hold, etc. I'm so excited!
Update: I just wound an incredible 21 yards of size 20 Lizbeth on to the small shuttle!
I recognize that thread...... Dr. von will be pleased to find out that her thread has been forever preserved :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are cool shuttles by the way!
Those are so amazing! I think that would make tatting much more fun, and they would make great conversation pieces too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shuttles you lucky girl these would really inspireyou to Tat.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I love the idea of preserving the tatting :)
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome. It is a fantastic idea, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteWow, cool and awesome shuttles, great idea! What fun to tat with them, and to show them off!

Ooh, those are so awsome! Can't wait to get some of my own tatting shuttle-fied :) What size thread have you used for the small shuttle?
ReplyDeleteOh those are lovely! What size threads did you use in each of them? I think I need to try stumpy as my motif!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThose are AWESOME! You know what else is cool about them? Seems like every time someone shows an interest in what I am doing, i.e. tatting, I am on the very first ring of a motif. It would be great to just lift up my shuttle and say, "THAT'S what tatting looks like."

ReplyDeleteWow they look awesome! Now I really have to put the fire burners on and get my motifs finished. ^_^
ReplyDeleteAren't those fabulous. I've turned greeeeen with jealousy. Tat's a lot of thread, too.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting your tatting displayed on shuttles! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe 21 yards of thread capacity...that seems almost scary (grin).

ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful. That is an amazing amount of thread on such a tiny shuttle. Happy tatting...
