What is System Texsolv
System Texsolv consists of three main parts and is a
complete solution for all loom types.The three parts are:
our unique heddles system with machine made heddles in
polyester, a complete tie up system of polyester loop cords,
and a peg locking system. System Texsolv is a well tested
solution and is used all over the world. Many of the world’s
loom manufacturers have Texsolv System as standard parts in
their looms. Our solutions are popular in the silk hand
weaving industry in Asia, where low friction and rapid loom
setup is essential. It saves a lot of time and minimize
problems for the weavers, which increases
production. System Texsolv is developed to facilitate
rapid and easy set up of the weave. The system gives the
weaver a quiet and smooth weaving experience, with low
friction and minimal problems. The weave will turn out
smooth and even.
This
is the reason why people all over the world prefer System
Texsolv!

To Measure heddles ...
If the length of a
current Texsolv (of which you are after more)
heddle is unknown, it can easily be measured. To
do so, stretch the heddle by the use of two
match sticks and hold it against a measuring
tape to determine the length. Moderate
tightening and do
not include the joining loop.
- If
choosing
to go with Texsolv heddles to replace your current
string or wire heddles, it is easy to find the correct
size... simply measure from the top of the top shaft bar
(the part that goes up and down, of which you will have
2,4 or 8) to the bottom of the lower shaft bar. Usually
you will find a number close to one of the sizes
available in the list.

Heddle sizes for
standard looms - as published by Texsolv AB Sweden
All looms are floor looms unless
otherwise indicated. First numbers are millimeters; numbers in
parentheses are inches. The first number of each pair is
heddle length, the second number is the size of the eye.
Colors indicate the color of the twist ties used to bundle the
heddles. Metal heddles are measured from the middle of one
heddle eye to the middle of the other. To replace a 9" metal
heddle with Texsolv, for example, choose the Texsolv heddle
closest to but longer than 9" (by at least 3/8") to fit around
the heddle bars.
