The Khasis, a hill tribe of Meghalaya, celebrated for their bright cultural expressions and skillfulness, have maintained weaving practices for a long time. Among their weaving tools, this one is a part of the apparatus component, quite simple, though very important in the loom system of the indigenous people.This apparatus consists of a movable wooden piece well appointed with a very thin light wooden spindle, meaning good free motion during the weaving process. Though a dumb-bell shape wooden piece is attached to it, probably acting as a counterweight or tension balancing element. The details of this structure ensure that the weaving threads are kept at equal tensions and allows the shuttles to move smoothtly very essential for tight and even weaves in textile production.

Weaving is not only a necessity for the Khasis, especially for the woman of rural households but also serves as a channel through which culture could be carried on and feminine creativity articulated. It uses this component with incredible precision as it employs them where all the implements have a special role in weaving threads into fine intricate patterns and textiles signifying Khasi identity.Moreover, it teaches the functional knowledge of the tribe and really substantiates the self-sustaining craftsmanship fashioned on eco-friendly practices since the apparatus is completely made from locally available wood. It holds the mention that through such tools, the Khasi community is upholding their textile traditions while retelling the cultural narrative of Meghalaya.
