About Heddle
Heddle, located in the Orkney Islands, is known for its rich textile heritage, particularly in handloom weaving. The town's name is derived from the 'heddle' or 'heald,' an essential component of looms that separates warp threads to allow the weft to pass through. A typical loom can feature hundreds of heddles, making Heddle a focal point for those interested in the local craft and planning applications related to textile production and heritage preservation.
