Model hand loom for weaving sacks (and so on) without a seam (scale 1:8), invented by T. Clulow in 1802.
This hand loom could weave two fabrics by a single shuttle, so as to form sacks or other cylindrical articles without a seam, owing to the selvedges being common. The shuttle passes first through the top warp and then through the lower one, so that the weft thread passes continuously round the sack. The bottom is closed by working the two fabrics into one for a short length.
