I need to reduce the number of shuttles that I have collected. I am listing 2 end feed shuttles made by the Southern company. The model number is 4-434 on both, although one is slightly larger and heavier than the other. The shuttles are 14 inches long.
There is no tensioning mechanism that I could ever find, but I discovered two ways of tensioning the yarn. While taking a workshop with Katie Meek, she tied some thread through the shuttle (green cotton) and that has provided enough tension on the yarn for years.
I have also found that I can loop the yarn around the metal guide of the shuttle to get tension.
These shuttles served me well since I found them to be an economical introduction to weaving with endfeed shuttles. Now that I have splurged on more expensive ones, I will pass them on to another weaver.
Asking $35 each or $60 for both plus shipping. There are 19 pirns, so if sold separately there will be either 9 or 10 pirns included.
