I have decided that Middy Clark is dangerous to my bank balance..... She keeps coming up with fantastic little shuttles I really love to use!! I adore her Dragon Dog and Phoenix metal shuttles because the feel so nice and balanced to work with and fit my hand nicely. THEN... she comes out with these divine little garden shuttles!

These ones are not always available. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheKnottedVine?section_id=17757593 Just a note here too. The shuttles I show on my page and in Tatting Shuttle Addicts on facebook are all purchases. The are not freebies or giveaways. My opinions are that of a customer and nothing more. https://www.facebook.com/groups/tattingshuttleaddicts/
