Shuttle loom:
1. Handwork: low efficiency, narrow width, used to make scarves
2. Shuttle loom: mechanical weft insertion (shuttle)
Advantages: the width can be 150-170, and the speed is faster than manual
Disadvantages: it will catch the shuttle (the shuttle is in the middle due to the small force) and cause the warp to be broken. The color is dark in places with high tension; light in places with low tension.
The risk is high and the quality is degraded.
Application: making real silk fabrics, the width is 140 114 90 etc.
