What does HEDDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A cord or wire loop with an eye in its middle, through which a warp thread passes on a loom.
Weavers mount many heddles side by side on a frame called a harness. Raising or lowering the frame lifts the chosen warp threads, which opens a gap for the weft to pass through. The pattern of the cloth depends on which threads are threaded through which heddles, so setting them up is slow, careful work. The word can also be used as a verb for threading the warp through these eyes.
How HEDDLE is used
A weaving term; heddle and the older word heald mean the same thing.
- She drew each warp thread through its own heddle.
- A broken heddle left the cloth with a visible flaw.
- The loom has four frames, each carrying hundreds of wire heddle loops.
- He replaced the worn heddle with a new cord loop.
- Counting every heddle took the weaver most of the morning.
