Threading Without Mistakes – Tip No. 2 – Stagger the Heddles

This is an excerpt from my book, Weaving for Beginners, on page 67 in the threading section. I find it invaluable and use it every time (I’m threading around 100 ends per inch usually).

Stagger the Heddles
Push all your counted-out heddles to the left (for righthanders) and stagger the heddles on the shafts so you can find which one you need easily as shown in Figure 178.
Left-handers would stagger them the same way, but have them over on the right side of the shafts.
