Bobbin winder

Bobbin winder

This metal bobbin winder, designed for preparing bobbins by hand, is sturdy and suitable for continuous use. It is one of the basic tools needed for weaving with boat shuttles, especially on floor looms and when working with fine fibres. Easy to maintain, it is a tool designed to last a lifetime.

Use and benefits

With this bobbin winder, bobbins can be prepared while controlling the tension of the weft yarn around the bobbin, whether using prefabricated or paper bobbins. It can rotate in both directions, making it suitable for both right-handed and left-handed use. It can be used for weaving on rigid heddle looms, table looms and floor looms. It is especially useful with fine and medium fibres, or when many colour or fibre changes are needed. It brings comfort, regularity to the weft and greater control over the process. It is very easy to use. First, the bobbin is wound with the yarn for weaving. It is then inserted into the metal pin of the shuttle, the yarn is drawn out through the central hole, and the shuttle is ready to pass from one side to the other without having to remove the yarn beforehand. This offers several benefits:

• Wind smoothly, avoiding the need to pull out yarn before passing the shuttle.
• Control the tension of the weft yarn more accurately while weaving.
• Achieve a more continuous and fluid weaving rhythm with greater ease.
• Achieve a more continuous and fluid weaving rhythm with greater ease.
• Weave for longer with less effort.

Detalles a tener en cuenta

To weave with this type of shuttle, both bobbins and a bobbin winder are needed. The bobbin winder is also a simple, long-lasting tool, and the bobbins can be either prefabricated or made of paper.
