The Heddle
Our Patent-pending Heddle is made from a specialized self-lubricating plastic. This plastic is extremely gentle to yarns - even handspun. The heddle rides on the side rails of the loom. Starting with an open shed - rotate the heddle forward and beat; rotate in the same direction and a new shed opens up; throw the shuttle; rotate again. Rotate, beat, rotate, throw. Rotate, beat, rotate throw. No lifting of the heddle.
