End Delivery Shuttles, Bobbins & Pirns<br />
bluster bay end delivery shuttles<br />
Simple but ingenious tension<br />
system is versatile enough to<br />
accommodate all yarns. Six<br />
small brass hooks tension<br />
the yarn as it slides off the tip<br />
of the bobbin. Finely crafted from<br />
native and exotic hardwoods with a satiny,<br />
smooth finish. Choose from open or closedbottom<br />
styles in two lengths. Uses pirns, not included.<br />

*These double-bobbin shuttles take 4” bobbins instead of pirns.<br />
End-delivery shuttles will improve your selvedges and make<br />
weaving more fun by eliminating the need to hand manipulate<br />
each weft shot for an even selvedge. A throw back to the<br />
industrial revolution, the end-delivery tensioning system was<br />
used on fly shuttles in textile mills. <strong>Yarn</strong> feeds smoothly and<br />
evenly off the end of a stationary bobbin, or pirn, as the shuttle<br />
scoots across the warp. Tension is controlled in the shuttle.<br />
Leclerc Plastic Bobbins<br />
Leclerc’s plastic bobbins have flat<br />
ended flanges designed to work<br />
well in the square-shaped interior<br />
of Leclerc’s boat shuttles (and many other manufacturers’).<br />

rounded interiors of Schacht boat shuttles. Sold individually or in<br />
groups of 10.<br />

Quills<br />
(Pack of 10) Before there were plastic bobbins there were quills.<br />
Cardboard quills are too narrow to fit on most single-ended bobbin,<br />
so you’ll have to wind them by hand, use a double ended bobbin<br />
winder or a special quill winder. Available in 3.5”, 4”, 5” and 6”<br />
lengths. Sold in packages of 10.<br />

increasing weaving speed. Shuttles are 13” long x 1 3/4” deep<br />
x 1 3/8” high. Weight is 6.8 oz including the pirn.<br />

Schacht 6.5” and 8” Wood Pirns<br />
End-delivery shuttles require special bobbins, called pirns which fit<br />
securely on the shuttle shafts. While they do not rotate, the yarn feeds off<br />
the end of the pirn in a non-tugging motion. They can be wound using<br />
single or double ended bobbin winders. The 6.25” pirns fit all but the<br />
9 in Schacht End Delivery shuttles. The 8” fit Schacht and Bluster Bay<br />
