Plastic Bobbins | Schacht

Reliable, lightweight, and thoughtfully designed, Schacht Plastic Bobbins provide smooth and consistent weft delivery when used with Schacht boat shuttles. Their specially shaped ends allow yarn to unwind cleanly and evenly, helping maintain steady tension and tidy selvedges while weaving.

These durable bobbins are available in three sizes to suit different shuttle lengths. Each package contains 10 bobbins, making it easy to prepare multiple colours or wind several bobbins ahead of a weaving session. Bobbins are also available individually.  

Choosing the Right Size

To determine the correct size, measure your bobbin between the flanges.

• 4″ Bobbins – Fit Schacht 9″ Mini, 11″, and Double Boat Shuttles

• 5″ Bobbins – Fit 13″ Boat Shuttles
