Abstract
A split heddle for controlling a yarn is particularly useful in automated seaming machines. The heddle is comprised of two blade like members. Each member has an aperture which is intersected on one side by a slot and on the other side by a groove. The members are superimposed with the apertures in alignment and the grooves opposite the slots. The unit is secured by laser, spot or sonic welding. After insertion of the yarn(s) in the aperture, the heddle is rotated 180.degree. with respect to the yarn(s) and the yarn(s) is/are captured in the channel formed by the opposed grooves.
