A two-page article from Master Weaver (Z-Handicrafts, Fulford, Quebec) discussing what makes a good hand shuttle for weaving. It covers shuttle shape, weight distribution, depth for the bobbin, and tip form, and compares bobbin-on-spindle weft release with the flying shuttle's non-rotating plug. It closes with advice on building and mounting shuttle races on the batten and when they help.
