Weaving Terminology - Harness
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short terminology note from the Master Weaver newsletter, excerpted from the "Encyclopedia of Hand-Weaving", on the word "harness". It explains that the term originally meant the whole set of heddle frames with their cords and pulleys (still the British usage), while in the United States it came to mean a single heddle frame. It lists synonyms such as heddle-frame, shaft, leaf and heald, and states that the series will use "heddle-frame" or "frame". The page also carries a grid of small 3-shaft drawdown diagrams labeled with tie-up combinations.
