9 Pull the extra length of the yarn out through the heald
wire and simply place it out. As shown in Fig 2

4 Divide the warp threads into two equal parts. Odd
threads (1,3,5..) and even threads (2,4,6,8…).
5 Pass the odd threads through the first healds and
pass the even threads in two the second healds.

TASK 3: Carryout the denting process of 400 threads

1 Take the first thread from the first heald wire. Fig 1
2 Now insert the heald hook into the first dent of the
reed.
3 Place the thread in the slot of the heald hook.(Fig 1)
4 Now pull the heald hook out from the reed.
5 Likewise draw second thread through the second
dent in the reed.
6 Draw all the 400 threads in the reed. As shown in
