Summary
| Description |
English: The Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills is on the River Aire and fronts onto the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. When built in 1805 it was the largest woollen mill in the world with 18 fulling stocks and 50 looms.. It contains a collection of textile machines.
Hattersley standard loom being rebuilt- spare wire healds. Shedding. Shedding is the raising of the warp yarns to form a loop through which the filling yarn, carried by the shuttle, can be inserted. The shed is the vertical space between the raised and unraised warp yarns. On the modern loom, simple and intricate shedding operations are performed automatically by the heddle or heald frame, also known as a harness. This is a rectangular frame to which a series of wires, called heddles or healds, are attached. The yarns are passed through the eye holes of the heddles, which hang vertically from the harnesses. The weave pattern determines which harness controls which warp yarns, and the number of harnesses used depends on the complexity of the weave. Two common methods of controlling the heddles are dobbies and a Jacquard Head. |
