Understanding Different Types of Healds

ZWAI :  flat healds having two eyes at the centre of the heald body on either side of the centre line. This design is optimized for handling complex weaving patterns and is suitable for heavy and medium-density fabrics. This two-eye configuration allows for better distribution of warp tension over the product lifetime and  making them ideal for intricate and high-performance weaving tasks.

Zwai Star healds are an advanced version of Zwai healds. They also have two eyes, but with the lower eye positioned in the centre of the heald. This unique configuration enhances the heald’s stability and precision in high-density weaving applications, making it suitable for producing intricate and high-quality fabric patterns.

Uno healds are single-eye healds, designed for simplicity and ease of use. The single eye is typically located in the centre of the heald, providing straightforward threading and consistent warp tension. Uno healds are suitable for basic weaving patterns and are commonly used in looms handling lightweight to medium-weight fabrics.
