Bluster Bay shuttles are made by hand in York Haven, Pennsylvania. They come in both domestically-harvested woods and internationally-sourced exotic ones. Not only are they beautiful to look at but wonderful to use, with a well-thought-out shape and smooth finish.

The 8" closed bottom shuttle is a side-delivery shuttle. It has a spring-loaded bronze spindle that accepts a 4" bobbin. Bluster Bay recommends Schacht bobbins but other styles work as well. The nimble 8" shuttle is ideal for projects on narrow warps, like scarves, shawls, towels, and placemats. It fits comfortably in your hand and the smooth, satiny wood surface is a pleasure to handle. The closed bottom makes a smooth, flat surface on the bottom of the shuttle to help your shuttle slide through the shed.

Bluster Bay shuttles are produced in limited quantity and the wood types vary with each shipment so if you don't see your dream shuttle today, be sure to check back later.

Dimensions vary, as each shuttle is hand made, but typical measurements are 8" long x 1.75" wide x 1.25" tall. They weigh approximately 4 ounces.
