Predictive text keeps appearing  uninvited,  and chooses what I want  to say!! it chose healed, but I meant heald!
If I miss something I could be in serious trouble !
The healds when knitted were varnished as there was friction when the woven cloth was moved up ,and the warp thread passed through to have the weft threads woven in.
Often weft is  said as  “ woof.

As someone who has no ancestral connections with weaving, (or mining) I often get into confusion trying to untangle OH's many weaving ( and mining ) related ancestors, the terms and jobs connected to them all!!

Many wise and clever people on RC ,and most are willing to share knowledge,
some,as with me share it enthusiastically ,but with me even if not 100% correct!
I can’t swim,but,I can dive in very well!

I have to stand in the corner frequently.
But having had the little demo from the chap who in his seventies ,had all his life worked at the mill which is now a Museum,I feel I am correct.
