Shuttles and Bobbins

Whether you are weaving with a table or floor loom, need a flat, ski, rag or boat shuttle or just need some extra bobbins, Camilla Valley Farm Weavers' Supply offers what you need with quality Leclerc shuttles and accessories.


Boat Shuttles


Leclerc Boat Shuttles are made with the finest Canadian Maple, cut into a classic well balanced design which is then sanded and polished to a brilliant shine. They come in five sizes and each has a metal bobbin support made of spring steel and a styrene bobbin . The slim boat shuttle and the flying shuttle, all have closed bottom designs.

Weaving Tip - While larger boat shuttles hold more yarn, they do require a larger shed to be able to pass through the loom warp threads. Make sure that your loom produces a wide enough shed before ordering the larger shuttles. Boat Shuttle heights are listed in the chart below. Note that for the Large Boat Shuttle, remember to add 1/4 inch to allow for the fact that the bobbin and yarn extend slightly above the wooden shuttle.


Traditional Boat Shuttle

To commemorate the 125th Anniversary of Leclerc Looms, the company has re-introduced the Traditional shuttle which is reminiscent of those produced by the company during its first century of operation. Designed to match the beautiful hand-crafted shuttles made in years gone by, the graceful shape of the Traditional shuttle fits perfectly into the natural curves of the weaver's hand. Each shuttle is crafted from kiln dried Canadian maple to give the owner years of weaving enjoyment.



Colourful Plastic Boat Shuttles

These new colored boat shuttles are made of high impact plastic (High Density Polyethylene), have the same shape as the traditional shuttle and are virtually indestructible. They are perfect for beginners and experienced weavers alike! These unique cost effective shuttles will last a lifetime and come in either Red, Blue, Yellow and Green.

Weaving Tip - These shuttles are the perfect way to avoid mistakes when weaving with multiple colours of warp yarn that have a similar shade. Load each colour of yarn into a different coloured shuttle and you will find it easier to remember to alternate the coloured shuttles as you weave!

End Feed Shuttle (EFS)

Want to improve your selvedges and speed up your weaving?

End Feed or "End Delivery" shuttles eliminate the drag on the weft that sometime occurs with shuttles that feed from the side. This results in a more uniform tension and removes the need for the weaver to adjust each weft shot to produce an even selvedge. Commonly found on industrial weaving equipment and flying shuttles, the yarn is wound on a pirn in the shuttle and flows easily off and out the back of the shuttle as it transverses the warp. The elimination of the need to spin a bobbin also reduces drag on the shuttle making it easier to throw.

Leclerc End Feed Shuttles are the simplest to use and the most flexible on the market. Unlike products from competitors which have bull-nosed ends which are easier to manufacture, Leclerc EFS shuttles have a streamlined design that allows it to move quickly across the warp. The pointed ends of the shuttle are curved to fit comfortably into the weaver's hand in a similar fashion as Leclerc's standard boat shuttles.

The yarn travels effortlessly off the end of the pirn through a guide and out the back of the shuttle through a steel wear guard. The guide also functions as an adjustable tensioning system allowing the weaver to set the perfect tension to match the yarn size and their personal preference. The wear guard extends the life of the shuttle long beyond those flying shuttles designed with a completely wooden guide. Unlike lower cost shuttles that require the weaver to thread the yarn around a maze of hooks, the Leclerc End Feed Shuttle can be threaded easily and effortlessly with no need to remember a complex threading pattern through the shuttle or put on your reading glasses to thread the yarn through a hole! The weaver simply grabs the yarn end and pulls it through a slot in the shuttle side.

The Pirn holder on Leclerc End Feed shuttles is designed to hold the pirn in place while in use, but enables it to be quickly removed for winding. This feature ensures small snags in the yarn will not release the pirn during weaving causing the mechanism to jam and the weaver to have to waste time reseting the pirn and fixing the selvedge. This is especially important with textured or "hairy" yarn that may occasionally bind together.

Note: Pirns are wound from one end to the other unlike bobbins where the yarn is wound back and forth across the length. Leclerc Manual or Electric Bobbin Winders are perfect for this task. Additional Pirns can also be ordered for this shuttle.




Professional End Feed Flying Shuttle

These high quality End Feed Shuttles (EFS) are designed for use in production weaving where speed and consistancy is a concern. The Leclerc Professional Flying Shuttle is made of hardwood with stainless steel pointed tips to deflect warp threads mounted with a dampening pad to absorb impact. The yarn travels through a brass guide mechanism that incorporates an adjustable tensioning device that allows the weaver to set the tension based on the yarn type and the weaver's personal preference. The yarn is quickly fed through the shuttle without the pain of threading through holes or hooks.

This shuttle is designed for use with the Leclerc Flying Shuttle Beater. Size information below can be used to determine whether it can be used on other loom vendors Flying Shuttle mechanisms. Additional Pirns can also be ordered.
