As I was noodling around on the Woolery website, I noticed that you can buy narrow rigid heddles from them.

This is just great if you have a loom like the
Vesterheim museum loom.
It’s gorgeous, and a joy to work with, but doesn’t come with a heddle. Lovely to know that you can get them! yay!

I recently wrote about the Vesterheim Museum Cradle loom.
