Heddle Velvets
Heddle velvets are named after the loom manufacturing, very similar to the handmade velvets’ one. In fact, heddle rods are inserted under the warp to produce these velvets. Unlike the processing of manual velvets, a weaver doesn’t need to cut the warp of pile: it’s the heddle rod itself that creates the velvet thanks to the blade at its end, once removed from the loom. Moreover, these looms can process both the ground and the pile – i.e. the velvet -, thus enriching the fabric with additional designs, obtained thanks to wefts of different colours.
