Belt Shuttle | Schacht

Compact, smooth, and thoughtfully designed, the Schacht Belt Shuttle is an essential tool for inkle weaving, band weaving, and other narrow warp projects. Crafted from durable hard maple, this shuttle feels balanced and comfortable in the hand, allowing for steady, rhythmic weaving.

Designed specifically for belt and band looms, the shuttle holds a small weft bundle and features tapered ends that glide cleanly through tight sheds. Its slim profile makes it ideal for narrow warps where precision and control matter.
