BUTUZE Tatting Shuttle Kit, 5 PCS Plastic Tatting Shuttle with Beading Needles Crochet Hooks Knitting Needles Big Eye Needles Tatting Needles for DIY Hand Lacemaking Craft Tool Weave Yarn Set

They are adorable! I decided to give those a try after tatting for 20 years with the ones bobbins and the hook attached. I love them! They are amazing little shuttles. For whatever reason, the hook works better than the ones attached to my old shuttles and it's way easier to undo the knots with the point of those shuttles. I like the long beading needle also. Very good product.

The last of my beloved Starlit shuttles bit the dust and I simply wasn't in the mood to make the 'free shipping' minimum from the shop so I took to 'zon to fill the need. I knew I wanted a post center and a pick tip (not a hook) because I used the Starlit's pick for a picot gauge, unfortunately there were no shuttles comparable to my Starlit's size for my not-dainty hands, but this variety had a reasonable price and fair ratings & reviews. I took the chance and I've been fairly impressed with them so far. quick to wind, adequate thread load, sturdy build, and fast delivery. My Great Dane is a 1.5yo puppy and is still in-training for service dog work, so my tatting supplies have made regular appearances but not sitting left out at the moment. But since these weren't my Starlits, she was immediately introduced to them and she's been learning to pick them up if I drop them or find if I misplace them, etc. They've fared very well in my girl's mouth and from being dropped on tile flooring and concrete floors repeatedly. They tat wonderfully, though, again, not for the not-so small handed amongst us crafters. If y'all got the chunky monkey fingers, like me, you're going to fumble with threading these and your hands take a bit of time to get used to the smaller size if you're used to using a larger size shuttle like Starlit. They do hold less thread, obviously, but enough to do a snowflake in size 20 thread. The beading needle! A lot of folks have had issue with this in the reviews and I have to explain this. We have different varieties of beading needles. These are actually standard seed bead needles (also called "big eye needle"). To find the eye, you used your fingernail or the pick of the shuttle, to separate the pieces of metal wire that are held together at the ends. You can also move the ends towards one another similar to a finger trap puzzle. I've included both a comparison photo of twisted wire beading needles to the seed bead needle and a photo displaying the big eye of the seed bead needle. Also among the photos are a comparison photo of Starlit shuttles to Butuze shuttles with a standard 3x3 sticky note, an in progress shot of one of the purchased shuttles, and an in action photo of the seed bead needle loading beads onto some 勾乐 20 weight thread (marketed as golo on Amazon). In the end, I'm probably going to replace these when they eventually bite dust - with the same product. They're great for making jewelry pieces, but I'm not attempting any of the Renuleks with these just because I hate hiding thread joins and I know there would be many. I hope this was helpful for someone.

Estas navetas son de tamaño grande, miden cerca de 8 centímetros de largo por 2,1 centímetros de ancho, mientras que las navetas estándar miden 6,5 centímetros por 1,2 centímetros. El tamaño grande es bueno para personas que están aprendiendo la técnica de frivolité (tatting) y también porque cabe mayor cantidad de hilo. El acrílico con el que están hechas las navetas es suave y liso, se deslizan con facilidad, sin embargo algunas no tienen los bordes bien redondeados, lo que hace que el hilo de despeluse.

Very good value . excelant product

I love these shuttles. The size is perfect for my hand ✋️ and on top of that you can use thr sharper edge to fetch the yarn thru picots... so you don't need an extra crochet needle ! Try it, you'll understand what I am saying. Over all the prize is right on the dot. Enjoy

(The pink shuttle in the second photo is my Clover shuttle, and the blue is one from this set.) This is a pretty good set of shuttles for the price, especially since I was able to get 10 for roughly what I pay for two when buying brand name. It's quite a bit bigger than the Clover shuttles I have, though works just as well. Because of the size, I am excited to see how it will handle a beaded project. The pick is nice and sharp without being in the way, and has been good for joinings and undoing mistakes The only drawback I've found so far is that it has absolutely no grip, and so it can be harder to hold onto if I'm tatting quickly. That being said, I've put a bit of masking tape on it and that has helped a bit. Overall, these are a good set of shuttles.

Worth it! I’m just starting out with shuttle lace and I made one with cardboard but it didn’t last! They don’t feel cheap and fragile! Exactly what I wanted

Arrived quickly. All intact however one ill have to rubberband and put in hot water to fix the space. They have a dent where others have little grip ridges. Haven't tried them out yet. Pick is very pointed and sharp. 👍 Update...... Frankly these have just nudged past my dreamlits as favorite. The pick being very stabby is very handy and didn't take long to get used too. It also doesn't snag at all like a dreamlit hook. ❤️ Ordered another set last night. I'm always taking my work with me and attached to the ball is a pain in the tush at doctors appts etc. Now I'll be able to keep a bunch loaded ready to go without spending a fortune. At a break down of a buck a piece? Can't beat it. Bonus...is the tiny Guage crochet hook,bead perfect.
