Ashford Wooden Stick Shuttles – 7 Sizes

The humble stick shuttle is one of weaving’s simplest and most satisfying tools. Wind the yarn around the forked ends, pass the slim wooden shuttle through the shed and let the weft unfurl smoothly into place. Light in the hand and easy to control, it is perfect for beginners, sampling and everyday rigid heddle weaving.

Choose a shuttle comfortably shorter than the width of your warp, or keep several sizes ready for narrow sections, colour changes and small amounts of special handspun. Their smooth silver-beech timber and low profile make them especially friendly to textured, bulky and irregular yarns.

Seven useful lengths

• 15cm (6in)
