A great discovery of this place today. They groom such a lovely hobby/ profession which can bring such peace of mind. Never knew weaving and spinning can be so addictive. We need to revive this art to mainstream. Now Shuttles and Needles is doing a great contribution to this art.

I always wanted to learn how to weave from the time I am living in Australia. Australia is the largest producer of merino wool and I was truly captivated by the weaving culture here. Weaving is an absolute therapy! It's just not someone's job. I was in Chennai during 2020 lockdowns and that's when I came across Shuttles & Needles. I was glad to meet Naresh and his team. He has an ocean of knowledge when it comes to weaving and textiles. Under his guidance, I purchased a versatile rigid heddle loom by Ashford, New Zealand. The studio is well equipped and should be a goto place for all creative enthusiasts. Attached are pictures of my first project. I started with a simple gingham pattern to get my hands on it. The experience so far has been absolutely amazing and its something you should definitely try once in a lifetime. Thank you once again team Shuttles & Needles! Warmest regards to you all!
Loved their speedy delivery, despite the pandemic...my package was delivered in proper condition and in time. Love their range of colors and quality of the threads. Appreciated the little note and thread sample brochure they sent along.
For Weaving lovers
I always got fascinated by the beautiful textures of woven fabric created by variety of yarns, colours and wanted to explore and create one . Our belief that weaving belongs to artisan weavers is not true. Shuttles and Needles an awesome textile art studio is a dream come true for all art lovers. It’s one of its kind studio in India with compact looms, spinners, gorgeous yarns and fibre. Trying out beautiful silk, wool and cotton scarfs,on my ashford loom and recently I am a proud owner of an e spinner to create art yarns. Even kids can take up the hobby and create woven cloth through workshops or weaving spa to experience it . Mr Naresh, MD of the studio and his friendly team of professionals , with their guidance and inspiring ideas make it an interesting, beautiful and creative learning experience whether it’s on weaving loom, felting or spinning loom. My dream to make garments has come true by getting trained in weaving and felting workshops and be able to do big projects with their guidance

I was planning to make a weaving tapestry and was looking for merino wool to add the beautiful lumpiness and texture to it. However no matter how hard I searched, I just couldn't find merino wool that I could source in India at a reasonable price. I had almost given up and decided to request my friend travelling home from the USA to get some for me. However, I luckily stumbled upon Shuttles and Needles website through an instagram post. I was able to find each and every material that I required for the tapestry, especially the wool yarn at a very reasonable price with loads of colour and texture options. I expected some delay in delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, but it was delivered well within time and I was able to complete my tapestry. The merino wool had a very rich colour and soft texture which exceeded my expectations. Was very happy that the colour of the yarn looked exactly like the picture on their website. They also hold workshops and classes at their studio in Chennai which I would be very interested in attending.
