Abstract

Audio recording of the process of passing the warp threads through the heddles, which allow the threads to be raised and lowered to create the necessary opening for weaving. After the threads are passed through the heddles, they are passed through the spaces of the comb (the heddle), which helps to keep the warp threads in the correct position and at the appropriate distances. The ends of the warp threads are tied to the weft bar of the warp (the winding roll).
