Majacraft Wave Shuttle

The wave shuttle is yet another innovative product from Majacraft. It is used in a similar fashion to a stick shuttle however it has a series of three "waves" on one edge and five on the other. As you weave, instead of using the heddle as a beater, the edges of the wave shuttle can beat down your warp to create unique patterns in your cloth.

It is 50cm/19.7" long and is laser cut from 1/4" (6mm) bamboo plywood that is both light and very strong. The "throat" of the shuttle is large so plenty of yarn can be wound on to the shuttle.

NOTE: because of the awkward shape, this item is set to ship separately. If possible we will pack it together with other products on your order and refund any excess postage.
