Texsolv's polyester heddles are now available in six colors! You can assign a different color to each harness and reduce threading errors.  These 11" heddles are used for the Glimakra Ideal and Standard; Toika manually-controlled Liisa, Eeva, Sonja, Jaana, and Norjanna; and Louet David.  They come in a bundle of 100 heddles; one color per bundle. Choose your color using the pull-down menu.

Texsolv heddles are sized metrically. Approximate lengths in inches are followed by the metric heddle length / eye size and the color of tie used to band them.  The following lengths are the ones that we stock in the dyed colors.  Other sizes are available in white only.

• 5.87" is 150/12 red tie (Louet Erica)
• 8" is 205/12 black tie (Louet Jane and Kombo; Glimakra Victoria)
• 8.62" is 220/12 green tie (Ashford table loom; Schacht inkle loom)
• 11" is 280/12 white tie (Glimakra Ideal and Standard; Toika manually-controlled Liisa, Eeva, Sonja, Jaana, and Norjanna; Louet David)
• 15.5" is 392/12 blue tie (Louet Spring and Megado)

The best way we have found to put the heddles on your loom is to slide them on the heddle bars before removing the ties. They will probably fit very tightly at this stage. Once they are on the heddle bars, remove the ties and spread the heddles. They are connected to one another at the top and bottom. Most weavers clip them apart once they are on the loom. Here's what the process looks like:
