Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Mnci starting to make a tabby heddle for the backstrap loom she is setting up. She has inserted the weaver's sword in the counter shed to keep the bottom layer of warp at the top. She will attach a loop to each warp thread on that layer creating a tabby heddle.
