Bluster Bay END-FEED Shuttles

For perfect selvedges and speedy weaving, many weavers prefer end-feed boat shuttles. These boat shuttles use special end-feed bobbins (often called pirns) that do not spin.

Rather, the yarn is released off the end of the stationary bobbin, through a tensioning device and then out the side of the shuttle.

Bluster Bay end-feed shuttles:

• are simple to thread and adjust
• require no tools for tension adjustment
• are lightweight and well balanced
• handle a wide range of yarn types and weights

End-feed boat shuttles are available in three lengths with either open or closed bottoms.

Please see our instructions for tensioning the yarn in your Bluster Bay end-feed shuttle, and for correctly winding end-feed bobbins.

MINI END-FEED BOAT SHUTTLES

Designed for customers who desire a smaller, lighterweight end-feed shuttle than any others currently on the market. These mini end-feed shuttles are perfect for:

• narrow warps
• use with table looms or floor looms with small sheds
• weavers with small hands

Our mini end-feed shuttles are 11 inches long, 1.625 inches wide and 1.125 inches tall. Their aluminum spindles are spring-loaded and they are designed to carry lightweight and inexpensive Swedish tapered paper pirns.

13" AND 15" END-FEED BOAT SHUTTLES

These are the standard Bluster Bay end-feed shuttles that weavers have been using and raving about since 1996!

Our 13-inch and 15-inch end-feed shuttles are 1.875 inches wide. Open-bottom shuttles are 1.375 inches tall. Closed-bottom shuttles are 1.5 inches tall. Their bronze spindles are spring-loaded.

Our 13" end-feed shuttles use 5.5" wood or AVL black plastic pirns. Note: 6" Schacht wood or red plastic pirns will NOT fit these shuttle.

Our 15" end-feed shuttles use 8" Schacht wood or AVL black plastic pirns
