To divide, as the warp threads, so as to form a shed, or passageway, for the shuttle.
The passageway between the threads of the warp through which the shuttle is thrown, having a sloping top and bottom made by raising and lowering the alternate threads.
The opening made across the WARP by the raising of some threads and the depressing of others. It is through this opening that the SHUTTLE passes and lays the cross of FILLING YARN of a fabric.
an opening made by movement in the harnesses of the loom for the shuttle to pass through carrying the filling yarn.
The area between the two rows of warp threads on a loom when one heddle is raised and the other lowered.
The space created when warp yarns are raised or lowered for the insertion of weft yarn into the structure. See loom.
The space between raised and lowered warps for the weft to pass through.
The opening for the weft to pass through selected lifted warp ends leaving the remainder lowered. For instance when weaving a plain weave fabric, the warp ends are lifted and lowered alternately.
The shed is the gap between the upper and the lower threads of the warp. The weft must be passed through the shed before the cards are turned, otherwise there is nothing holding the band together.
In weaving, the shed is the gap between yarns on a loom when one or more, but not all, of the harnesses are raised. ;
The opening created when you pull some warp threads up and some down. Different types of looms create sheds with different methods.
The space between raised or lowered warp yarns through which the loaded shuttle is passed. A shed is created by raising or lowering one or more shafts.
The opening formed through the warps when alternate warps are raised to permit the shuttle and weft to pass through the warps. There is one shed for each set of warps, depending on whether even or odd-numbered warps are raised.
