Blue and Yellow Tatting Doilies, or vintage shuttle and modern meaning.
Hello everyone!๐ธ
Do you enjoy receiving gifts? Youโll probably say itโs a silly question โ because who doesnโt love presents? ๐ Oh, I truly adore them!

โจ Look at this absolutely amazing tatting shuttle that my dear friend Edna sent me as a gift! ๐ It has the name James Lees & Sons engraved on it.
The James Lees and Sons Co. was an American textile manufacturer founded in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. The company operated from the early 20th century and specialized in producing yarn, carpets, fabrics, and accessories for handicrafts. In 1956, it was even listed in the Fortune 500, ranking 409th with a revenue of $71.3 million and 3,500 employees. ๐งต๐ญ
But whether these tatting shuttles were made in very small numbers, or whether it was just too long ago, I couldnโt find detailed information about mine. ๐ค
๐ If you know anything about tatting shuttles produced by James Lees & Sons, please share in the comments!
Of course, I couldnโt resist trying this shuttle in action. โจ It feels so light, comfortable, and pleasant to the touch. Working with beautiful tools is pure joy โ it turns every process into true creativity! ๐จ๐งต

The name of these Blue and Yellow Tatting Doilies

By the way, at the request of my dear friend Edna, I made three doilies with blue and yellow threads. You know that these are the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Two doilies are made according to my own pattern. ๐งตGuess what I called this pattern? Of cource, I named it after a wonderful talented lady with a big heart, who constantly helps and supports me and my country in these terrible times. ๐ท
Finally, I invite you to watch a short video where I demonstrate this shuttle: ๐ฅ๐งต https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MbDO7qvsxB0
