The Louet Fly Shuttle is a boat shuttle designed for use with the Louet Flying Shuttle Device (available on the Louet Spring, Delta, Octado and Megado weaving looms). The shuttle features a tension devise allowing for easy adjustment.
The Louet fly shuttle measures 40cm (15.7") and comes with 5 plastic pirns.
If the Louet item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 6 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our products, orders, shipments, and payments.
Can I substitute the Fly Shuttle with an End-Feed Shuttle and vice versa?
You can, but there are slight differences between the two. A Fly Shuttle is actually a specialized type of End-Feed Shuttle. It works as part of a whole Fly Shuttle System that connects to the weaving loom, automatically throwing the shuttle back and forth with the pull of a rope instead of throwing the shuttle manually, by hand. A Fly Shuttle is usually heavier than the hand-thrown End-Feed Shuttle. It also features sharp, metal ends on both sides.
