• The Honex tensioner really excels with smooth, evenly spun yarns in a wide range of sizes from very fine silk to 3/2 Perle cotton.
• Bluster Bay’s traditional hook and eye tensioner works well with handspun or slubby yarns, as well as most commercially spun yarn.

HONEX TENSIONED END-FEED BOAT SHUTTLES

• Very easy to thread
• Well balanced
• Very fine tension adjustment to handle a wide range of yarn weights
• Available with either open or closed bottoms

11″ Honex Tensioned End-Feed Boat Shuttles

This is a smaller Honex tensioned end-feed shuttle than any others we’ve found. Depending upon the wood choice they can also be very lightweight. These end-feed shuttles are perfect for:

• Fine, smooth yarn
• Use with any kind of loom, including table looms or floor looms with small sheds
• Weavers with small hands

These shuttles are 11.5 inches long, 1.625 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall. The aluminium spindles are spring-loaded and designed to carry our lightweight and inexpensive tapered paper pirns.
