Clover Bobbin Tatting Shuttle — Compact Refillable Shuttle with 2 Colour-Coded Bobbins, Stopper

The Clover Bobbin Tatting Shuttle is a compact, refillable shuttle that holds interchangeable bobbins so you can switch threads quickly while tatting delicate lace.

If you make tatted lace, doilies, edgings or jewellery, a tidy, easy-to-load shuttle speeds up work and keeps threads organized. Clover’s bobbin shuttle arrives with one shuttle body, two colour-coded bobbins and a small stopper to keep thread ends secure. Designed in Japan, it helps you manage multiple threads without tangles and reduces the need to wind and rethread mid-project.

How does the bobbin system make tatting easier?

Instead of winding thread directly inside the shuttle, the removable bobbins let you prepare and store different threads separately. Swap a pre-wound bobbin in seconds when a pattern calls for colour or thickness changes, which keeps your workflow steady and reduces handling.

• Two bobbins included for parallel threads or colour changes
• Remove and refill bobbins without disassembling the shuttle
• Stopper secures thread ends to prevent unraveling
• Colour-coded bobbins help you track different threads at a glance

What size and weight is the shuttle—will it fit my hands and bag?

The shuttle is small and lightweight for fingertip control and easy travel. The package measures approximately 18.3 x 9.1 x 1.4 cm and weighs just 27 grams, so it tucks into project bags, knitting totes or pockets without adding bulk.

• Compact dimensions for comfortable handling during long sessions
• Lightweight—minimizes hand fatigue while tatting
• Flat profile fits narrow storage compartments and carry pouches

How do I change thread or refill the bobbins?

Changing thread is straightforward: remove the stopper, slide the current bobbin out and replace it with a pre-wound bobbin. To refill, take the bobbin out of the shuttle, wind fresh thread onto it, and reinsert; this avoids having to wind directly inside the shuttle shell.

• Open shuttle, remove bobbin, wind or replace bobbin
• Stopper holds thread tail during transport and storage
• Different coloured bobbins prevent mixing up thread types or colours

What materials and quality can I expect?

Manufactured by Clover, a trusted brand in sewing and craft tools, the shuttle and bobbins are precision-molded for smooth rotation and snag-free thread release. Made in Japan, the components are built for consistent performance and long-term use.

• Precision-molded for smooth thread flow and minimal friction
• Durable construction to withstand frequent use
• Included stopper helps protect thread while stored or transported

Who is this for: The Clover Bobbin Tatting Shuttle suits hobbyists and experienced tatters who want an organized, portable solution for multi-thread projects. It’s ideal for makers who switch colours or thread types often—lace makers, accessory designers and anyone who values tidy, efficient workflow. If you prefer a lightweight, refillable shuttle that keeps threads separate and ready, this compact set is a practical addition to your notions box.
