The hecldle, Fig. 59, consists of two strips of cane between and on which resteight sets of two knots each of the leash ends which support the warp. Every leash,like the warp and weft, consists of about twelve to fifteen separate filaments. Eachset of leashes is distinct from the next, , is not continuous and extends only fromone knot to the other of its set and not beyond, and is so arranged that when theknots are placed side by side the leashes separate out and cross one another. ,35JCM
