You learn something new everyday- The shuttles in the lace looms that carry the polyester yarn are different thicknesses, depending on the loom. The 14pt quality (14 vertical threads per inch) shuttle is much thinner than the 8pt quality (8 vertical threads per inch) shuttle. You can see here the difference in thicknesses. There are roughly 5050 shuttles in the 14point loom and 3456 in the 8point loom. How interesting is that! 🧵#laceloom #history #heritage #scottishtextiles #scottishfabric #mybtextiles #textiles #shuttles #yarn #loom #100yearsold #mill #factory (at Morton Young & Borland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDpaBnq3MG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
