How to make the heddle
A diagram of the loom heddle continuing the weaving studies
A faint red-chalk diagram illustrates the way to make the heddle (liccio) of a loom, continuing the weaving studies of the surrounding pages. An upright bundle of threads is shown gathered on a stand. Faint additional strokes and offset markings, not part of the transcribed caption, are visible on the sheet.
