The Tatting Toolbox: Lark's Head
The Tatting Toolbox: Lark's Head
Keep your tatting tools handy and organized on the go or at home, with this sturdy, compact mini-tote. The Lark's Head has several slots and features to securely accommodate all your favorite shuttles, tatting needles, and accessories.
The Tatting Toolbox features a rigid PLA plastic base with molded-in, tapered shuttle slots that set shuttles on their edges instead of their tips to prevent dulling, blunting, and bending. Slots of different shapes and sizes allow for carrying whatever combination of shuttles and tools fit your current project needs. The oval slots can hold scissors, needle cases, and other tools, while the small circular slots fit a full set of tatting needles of different sizes as well as crochet hooks.
The lid opens at the top into two halves like a clamshell, with both halves resting against the sides of the base to form two small shelves when open. Two small tabs on each lid prevent them from closing too far, and magnets* built into the handles securely hold the lid closed. Easily open the lid by pressing outward on the kiss lock style tabs at the tops of the handles.
The lid also has enough room for small tatting projects in progress and a ball of thread on top of the shuttles. Standard Lisbeth thread balls fit comfortably inside the lid when closed.

I ordered the blue ombre box that comes with the extra bottom storage space. I like the box a lot as it is a convenient, unique, and cool way to store my tatting supplies. I only have two minor concerns: 1) the ombre isn't vertical, it's horizontal, so the light blue to dark blue looks as though the box had been left in a window and bleached out on one side. An image on the item page would have helped me, and I probably would have just ordered blue. 2) Not all of my Clover picot gauges fit in the top, so they're distributed in different areas of the container. Not a big deal, though I could see myself having a tougher time keeping track of them. Regardless, the item works, looks cool, holds my tatting things, and arrived quickly. Plus, Stephanie sent me complimentary tatting thread which was very kind.
Super pratique !! Je peux transporter tout le matériel sans risque de perte !
This is truly the neatest item for tatters. It is very lightweight and holds so much. 3-D printed, and nowhere is there any place thread gets caught on. Very well made.
Great little organizing tool for tatters!
WONDERFUL!!!! I've been looking for a project box for my tatting shuttle for years and this is it. Sturdy and well made. Fits my victorian replicas from Lacis.com and my clover picot gauges. fast shipping and well packaged.
