opening the pattern sheds

To open pattern shed one, the patterning stick is simply drawn down to the heddles. This will raise the pattern warps and a stick can be place under them on the near side of the heddles. The yellow weft can then be passed through this shed. Then the shed rod shed willbe opened and the green weft passed. RIGHT: To open pattern shed two, the patterning stick is also drawn dwon to the heddles (under the warp). The arps won’t pop u quite so easily o it helps to have your beater in the heddle shed and tilted as shown. Like this the pattern warps will be more apparet and you can slide a stick under them.The yellow weaft is passed under these warps and then the green weft is passed through the heddle shed.
