Conventional Boat Shuttles

These side-delivery boat shuttles use conventional bobbins that spin freely on bronze, spring-loaded spindles. The yarn feeds off the side of the bobbins (Thus the term “side-delivery” shuttle) and out a generous slot in the side of the shuttle. We recommend Schacht bobbins, but our shuttles will hold many other brands as well.

The 8-inch, 10-inch and 14-inch (double bobbin) styles all have bullnose ends. The 13-inch style has sweeping, pointed ends.

All Bluster Bay side-delivery shuttles for use with bobbins are available in either closed or open bottom styles.
