My sweet husband surprised me with a new shuttle. It looks better in person than in the picture.
It feels wonderful and is a very nice size, but the tips are very tight. I even tried size 70 thread, which I very rarely tat with, and it was too tight for that as well. I'll have to fix that before I can tat with it, but isn't it pretty?
My husband is so thoughtful!
Love you shuttle Is that a wood that makes the pretty grain pattern? I know you must be happy it is always fun to get a shuttle!
ReplyDeleteQue alguien le diga a mi esposo que me gustaría que me sorprenda así. Muy lindo detalle de parte de tu esposo.

What a wonderful, thoughtful present! Enjoy it! I have used a metal nail file in the past with a tight shuttke. - just slide it ONE way through the tight spot. One move at a time, till it is right. : )
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful! I wonder which is better, too tight or too loose?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Be careful with that shuttle, though - the ones made from shell are fairly fragile.
