Knotting was a popular form of handwork from the 18th to early 19th centuries, and as the forerunner of tatting, done for the same reasons - to show off one's skillful hands, flash prized ornate shuttles, and generally compliment one's appearance. Vanity aside, knotting created a decorative cord that when appliquéd onto fabric in fanciful designs, embellished clothing or stood with embroidery in samplers. Our wooden shuttles measure approximately 5 1/2" long by 1 1/4" wide (larger than tatting shuttles) with flat oval ribs gently doming on the outside, to follow original designs. Please choose from one of the three types of wood below.
