Fixed Heddle Loom

Glossary

Also known as rigid heddle looms, they feature a single shaft wherein heddles are fixed in place and resemble the standard floor loom. Since the heddles are fixed, the warp threads are passed through the space between the heddles. The movement is restricted, which limits possible variations in the fabric.
