These double threads are fast- ened to small rods of equal length, mak- ing a certain sort of heddle, by means of which they are able to raise the division of the threads which they wish ... To fasten further the said divisions, they put in each a broad stick well smoothed, like a sword blade, two, three, or more in accordance with the complexity of the weave. [There is evidently some confu- sion here.] These broad sticks are turned on edge with the heddle to make a place for the weft. This is inserted by means of a light small rod or twig with the weft coiled on it, serving as a shuttle. [The weft] is tightened with a heavy stick with points on both ends, and thus they proceed until their work is finished. Doc. Hist. Mex., 1853-57, 3" ser., vol. 4, p. 550.] Among the Mayo the making of sashes (hikosi) is done on the same large looms as are used for blankets. There are no special sash looms, but the tools used, such as spreader and batten, are naturally all much smaller. The batten for sashes is wider than the fabric, which is not the case with blankets (pi. 7, fig. 1). The belts are usually of plain solid color
