Very clear explanations. Thanks!
I have two of the end-delivery shuttles I came across somewhere; I think they were thrown in for free with a used loom. They look antique to my uneducated eye, and I never thought much about it. Thank you for this video! I can see how they might offer something different than my 'standard' shuttles.
Thank you for putting these little lessons up. I am learning SO much.
You're welcome! We truly love helping our customers and fans.

The Pirn shuttle I would think would be adding a lot of twist to the yarn as it comes off the end. Does this ever cause problems?
Great question! Using the end feed shuttles does add or subtract a small amount of twist, depending on the direction in which you wind the pirn compared to the twist of the yarn. The amount of twist is small enough that it is unlikely to cause any trouble. I think the only time I would be concerned would be with a loosely-spun single-ply yarn. Reducing the twist further could lead to yarn that pulls apart too easily. For most plied yarns, however, you wouldn’t notice a difference. The issue isn’t confined to end feed shuttles, however. Winding a traditional bobbin from a stationary cone also adds/subtracts twist but, again, it generally doesn’t cause a problem because the amount of twist added or subtracted is small.
@@YarnBarnofKansasLawrence Ty so very much for your very detailed answer. The question came about because in Bobbin lace we work very hard to avoid adding or removing twist as we wind the bobbins so when I saw how the pirn worked it just clicked that the twist would be changed. Being relatively new to weaving I wondered if I needed to worry about it. Your answer solved that nicely for me. TY again.
