GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A type of shuttle used in treadle-loom weaving, in which the weft is wound on a spool or bobbin, which is set into a smooth wooden frame such that it can rotate freely. The yarn passes through a hole in the shuttle. As the shuttle skims across the warp, the weft yarn unwinds automatically.
