After sleying the reed, each thread has to be pulled through a heddle, a wire guide that is attached to one of the eight frames (or harnesses) on my loom. Each frame can be raised or lowered individually. Threads attached to a given frame rise or fall with the frame, and patterns in the warp are created by varying the rise and fall of each thread.
