Your cart is empty.This Tatting shuttle is approximately 2. 75in long (excluding hook) and 0. 75in wide. Made of plastic with steel hook (1. 0mm), the Aerlit Shuttle has been reproduced from the “Made in England” Aero shuttle. The shuttle comes with 2 bobbins.

Pro: I like the hook for joins. The ease of winding the bobin is good.Cons: far less thread capacity than a post wind shuttle. Bobbin tension depends on how tight you grip the shuttle (not ergonomic if your hands cramp easily). Bobbin unwinds FAR too easily. Not easy to find extra bobbins. The hook part in nice but too long. It catches on my work. Overall end to end length is too long for me.

These are absolutely indistructible. It works well, arrived on time, GOT RAN OVER BY A CAR (I dropped it in a parking lot) and to this day works perfectly fine. Highly recomended.

I wanted to try these types of shuttles for a while. Now that I have I must say that they are a little finicky to work with. The bobbins did not want to release thread easily. It was so hard to spin that the thread would cinch up on the bobbin. So, I spun it several times to break it in. It works okay, but I have to keep squeezing the center when I pull the double-stitches down to keep the bobbin from releasing more thread. Also the tail, or whatever that end is (not the pick) gets caught under the thread when I pull through. It has taken several attempts to get use to working with this type of shuttle. I still prefer my first shuttles for now.

In my continuing quest for the best tatting shuttle, I tried the Aero. It COULD have been great, but the flimsy feeling plastic material just doesn't give a quality experience. I am not against plastic, I like the Clover tortoise shuttle. I was hoping for a decent quality shuttle with a replaceable bobbin and a hook. If the Aero were better made I would be ecstatic. But no, working with it feels cheap, and the clicking bobbin was annoying.However, as a beginner shuttle, it would work, at least after the beginners are ready for a hook. It is better to start learning with no hook on the shuttle.
