What is a "shuttle"?

A shuttle is a tool used in weaving to move thread across a loom. It is a small, boat-shaped device that holds the thread and carries it back and forth between the vertical threads, called warp, to create fabric. By passing the shuttle through the threads, it helps to interlace the horizontal threads, called weft, with the vertical ones, making the weaving process quicker and more efficient.
