Installing the heddles to the shafts
Texsolv heddles consist of a double
polyester cord that is connected at
specific distances. This chain of
heddles is folded in a zigzag fashion
into bundles of one hundred.
With a sharp pair of scissors, cut the
loops between the heddles.
Count the desired number of heddles
for each shaft and make bundles by
tying the heddles in four places. Always
place more heddles than you actually
need on each shaft.
The sides of the shafts are made of
spring steel and have a right-angled
bend at the ends. The bended end fits
in a hole in the groove at the ends of
the shaft bar. The shaft can be
“opened” by taking this spring steel end
out of the shaft bar.
With your thumb, push on the end of
the shaft bar while you pull the shaft
side out with your other fingers. Pull the
shaft side close to the shaft bar and
give, as shown in the picture, some
back pressure with your little finger so
that the end of the steel wire does not
get stuck in the hole.
