  krasuay (flying shuttle)

 

Thailand

A krasuay flying shuttle used for weaving cloth. It usually holds two reels of yarn and is launched back and forth through the shed by pulling a string that propels the shuttle from one side to another.

 

The ends of the flying shuttle are reinforced with metal tips to protect the wood and absorb the shock each time it is launched and lands.
