Definition: The part of a loom that carries the woof back and forth between the warp threads.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek,
At a word that’s useful, clever and sleek!
We’ve got "shuttle," you see, it's quite a treat,
Especially when we talk about weaving complete.
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
“It’s the part of a loom, working with all its might!”
Imagine this loom, a wonderful sight,
With threads stretched out, so long and light.
The “warp” is steady, a line so true,
But the “woof” needs moving, for me and for you!
That’s where the shuttle comes in, swift and free,
Back and forth it flies, for all to see!
It carries the thread, with skillful grace,
Across the loom's expanse, a happy pace.
So "shuttle" means this: a moving friend,
Helping the weaver until the very end!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
Let’s discuss it further, as everyone knows!
