Pronunciation: ipa: /skɒb/
Forms: form: scobs
Etymology: The Scottish National Dictionary derives the weaving sense from earlier Scottish and Northern English dialectal use of scob to refer to a split or splinter or piece of wood, which it derives from the Middle Irish [Term?] source of Irish scolb (“splinter”); compare Scots skelf.
Senses: examples: text: A scob, again, is a blemish in the cloth arising from the interruption of the threads in shedding, preventing the proper interlacing of the warp and the weft.
ref: 1846, George White, A practical treatise on weaving, page 123:
text: The weft stopper will stop the loom when the weft is exhausted in the shuttle; and when a warp thread breaks in the shed in a position to make a scob or float, the scob preventor will also stop the loom, and an apparatus may also be applied to change the shuttle without stopping the loom;
ref: 1863, John Wilson, The Theory and Practice of the Art of Weaving, page 114:
text: Ere she could obey his orders, however, the seed-box slipped to the floor, and from it rolled over thirty sixpences, the missing scobs in the weft, which Wattie had so carefully preserved for the winter's campaign.
ref: 1881, Thomas Dykes, “When Wanlockhill Played New Cumheid”, in Stories of Scottish Sports, page 64:
text: I think the freedom from such casualties is due to the fact that, in Scotland, no woman works more than two looms, and thus can very quickly detect the formation of a 'scob' or any other defect which would cause a shuttle to fly.

topics: business

weaving
glosses: A flaw in which the weft misses a few warp threads.
examples: text: Possessed of the keys, the boys broke into Mr. Goddard's apartments, and blocked up the passage of communication between them and the Warden's lodging with scobs.
ref: 1878, Henry Cadwallader Adams, Wykehamica, page 146:
text: In School we had our scobs, two rows of them on the north side, one on the south.
ref: 1936, John Sampson Furley, Winchester in 1867, page 23:
text: Afternoon school [at Winchester] lasted from two till six; in the vast schoolroom, lighted at that time only by candles in the sconces; the boys sitting at their “scobs” or movable desks, while the commoners were accommodated also at friendly scobs, or sat at two long "commoner tables."
ref: 2012, William A. Reid, Curriculum as Institution and Practice:
text: The need for a writing surface and space to store the larger number of books now being used by the pupils no doubt brought the scob into being.
