Anotations

Scope note:

Portable, human-operated devices used to weave narrow strips of fabric, roughly an inch wide, called tapes. These devices are typically made of wood and often comprise a paddle-shaped board equipped with alternating slots and holds (a rigid heddle) sometimes, but not always, attached to a box or frame. Designed to be held between the user's knees during operation, these devices required that the warp be stretched by the user's one hand to determine the correct degree of tension while the weft be picked with the user's other hand.
