Wire Heddles - Leclerc

Made by Leclerc in Canada

Leclerc Wire Heddles are designed for smooth operation and ease of use. Featuring a lightweight wooden frame, sturdy heddle support bar, and durable metal construction, these standard wire heddles are the default choice supplied with most Leclerc looms.

Wire heddles are generally easier to thread, slide smoothly across shaft frames, and are quick to add or remove as needed—ideal for efficient weaving setup and adjustment.

Standard Heddle Lengths by Loom Type:

• Leclerc Table Looms: 9 ½″
• Nilus, Fanny, Mira, and Artisat Looms: 10 ⅝″
• Colonial, Weavebird, Kebec Looms: 12 ⅝″

How to Measure:
Measure from the top edge of the upper heddle support bar to the bottom edge of the lower support bar to determine your correct heddle size.

Threading Tip:
Heddles are marked with a red end for threading orientation—red end on top for right-handed threading, red end on bottom for left-handed threading.

• This set includes 18 adjustable loop cords and 18 pegs. This means you can set up each treadle to tie up 3 shafts at once for a 4 hardness loom with 6 treadles total. If you have a loom with more than 4 shafts, you will need multiple kits.
• The length of each cord is 15” and can be cut to fit the size that makes sense for your loom.

The traditional tie up system can be tricky as you need to have the exact lengths for each nylon cord in order to get all the hardnesses to raise or lower all together and thus creating a clean shed. The texsolv small loop cords allow you to easily adjust each hardness cord by being able to shift it loop by loop with a peg or anchor. Texsolv also does not stretch which increases the longevity of the cords.

Texsolv Loom Cord is made of two parallel nylon ropes that are locked together at regular intervals forming a continuous series of regular loops. This polyester cord is extremely durable and knotless and can be quickly and securely fastened together in a number of different ways.
