The thread from the bobbin is gathered in the tube so that it can be placed on the shuttle of the loom (this will be our weft). In the process of filling the chewing gum, the left hand is used to hold the thread to fill the chewing gum evenly and the right hand is used to move the wheel that spins it. Watch the related video.

NOTE: the bobbin is placed at the bottom of the wooden structure
