Each comes with a wooden bobbin and a spindle too.
I adore these shuttles! The way they feel in my hand , the hand crafted beautiful woods! I have kept 2 , but because of their unique charkha spindle option and knowing they rare to find i am passing them on so they will get more chances to be used again.
From the bosworth web site
“Patterned after a classic design by Ed Bosworth, Jonathan’s father, our own Boat Shuttles are made in beautifully hand-finished woods. No matter which wood you choose, you will enjoy weaving with these smooth shuttles.”
“These Boat Shuttles are a perfect fit for our own Bosworth Charkha Spindles.
You can also use them with Harrisville or Leclerc standard 4″ bobbins
or your own paper bobbins.
Note: Our Shuttles cannot be used with the spindles from an Indian book charkha, and our Charkha Spindles do not fit the Bluster Bay shuttles meant for Indian book charkhas.”
