Shuttle Winder and Inspiration

I really enjoy tatting but the one thing that I do not like about it is winding the shuttles. I find by the time I am done winding that my hands are cramped making it impossible to tat for a while. This was a problem until I went to the tatting days we had in September where I saw someone using a shuttle winder and found out how I could get one.

This shuttle winder is made by Lynn Morton Tatting & Design and is available HERE  This shuttle winder is very easy to use and I highly recommend it to all tatters. It works best with clover shuttles.
