Summary

A loom made by the British Northrop Loom Company, Blackburn, in 1930. This loom features a cylindrical drop-box in which up to 28 pirns of weft thread can stored, ready to fill the shuttle when the previous pirn is empty. This drop-box would allow a weaver to automatically change their shuttle once the yarn had run out, or change the colour of their weft thread, by allowing multiple shuttles to be ready loaded within the drop-box.

Provenance

This British Northrop loom was a gift from Bill Salt; Salt ran his own weaving operation in the floor that is now the Mill Kitchen.
