Abstract
A weaving heddle comprises a strip of material of constant cross-section throughout its entire length, and has open end loops of plastic material molded in place on oposed end sections of the strip. A central section of the strip between the end sections has a centrally located thread eye. The end loops have bearing surfaces for engaging heddle carrying rods of a heddle frame, such surfaces lying along a common axis. This central section of the strip is bent and offset from such axis in the same lateral direction in which the end loops extend from their end sections. Such a bent heddle may be utilized with an unbent heddle so as to form a heddle pair having two thread eyes. This other heddle comprises a straight strip of material of constant cross-section throughout its entire length, with open end loops, corresponding in shape and size to the end loops on the bent heddle, being attached to opposed end sections. A central section of the unbent heddle contains a centrally located thread eye, and the thread eyes of both heddles are offset equal distances from and lie on opposite sides of the aforementioned axis.
