- 무슨 일이기에 형사가 저 집에 북 나들듯 하지?
- 난리가 터진 지 이십 일, 그동안 한시도 맘 못 놓고 북 나들듯이 뻔질나게 이리 뛰고 저리 뛰고….≪현기영, 변방에 우짖는 새≫
A shuttle is a tool designed to neatly and compactly store weft yarn while weaving. Shuttles are thrown or passed back and forth through the shed, between the yarn threads of the warp in order to weave in the weft.
The simplest shuttles, known as "stick shuttles", are made from a flat, narrow piece of wood with notches on the ends to hold the weft yarn. More complicated shuttles incorporate pirns. In the silk weaving sheds and the cotton of the north west England, the weft was wound onto a "quill" or "pirn", which was then inserted into the shuttle.
Shuttles are often made of wood from the Flowering Dogwood, because it is so hard, resists splintering, and can be polished to a very smooth finish.
Originally shuttles were passed back and forth by hand. However, John Kayinvented a loom in 1733 that incorporated a flying shuttle. This shuttle could be thrown through the warp, which allowed much wider cloth to be woven much more quickly and made the development of machine looms much simpler.
