Examples
As the harnesses raise the heddles or healds, which raise the warp yarns, the shed is created.
All these opportunities will be available during the seventh annual Senior Expo, held at Bill Heddles Recreation Center, 531 N. Palmer Street in Delta.
Between the heddles and the takeup roll, the warp threads pass through another frame called the reed (which resembles a comb).
Every time the harness (the heddles) moves up or down, an opening ( shed ) is made between the threads of warp, through which the pick is inserted.
In a wooden vertical-shaft looms, the heddles are fixed in place in the shaft.
On traditional looms, the two main sheds are operated by means of a shed roll over which one set of warps pass, and continuous string heddles which encase each of the warps in the other set.
