The Consequences of Frames and Treadles
The development of the treadle and frame system freed the weaver of the task of picking each warp (vertical) thread by hand. As a result, a weaver could produce large quantities of cloth in a relatively short time.
The early treadle and frame loom system is the basis of modern shed looms widely used by both hand weavers and industrial weavers.
