Number of Compound Harness to Use
The number of harness used is regulated by the weave required for raising, and the weave required for lowering.
The number of harness may vary to a large degree, as we may use any suitable weave from the 4-leaf twill up to the 16-leaf satin. As a general rule, for fine damasks we use the 8-leaf satin, requiring 8 harness.
