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!
Que alguien le diga a mi esposo que me gustaría que me sorprenda así. Muy lindo detalle de parte de tu esposo.
That's a beautiful shuttle! Your husband chose well!
Wonderful gift!
Lovely shuttle, and what a great husband to think of a shuttle as a present.

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. : )
Truly beautiful! I wonder which is better, too tight or too loose?
It's beautiful! Be careful with that shuttle, though – the ones made from shell are fairly fragile.
