"A form of yarn package such as is spun on a mule spindle, that is essentially self-supporting. A weft-cop, as used at Holdsworths on face-to-face looms until 1980, was a cop of tightly wound yarn of such a size that it could be used directly in the loom shuttle. These cops were very difficult to handle without damage, and caused a great deal of problems in terms of wasted material and the maintenance cost of the cop-winders. The whole process was made obsolete with the replacement of machinery with shuttle-less looms from Güsken in the early 1980s."
