PURPOSE: Paired heddles for weaving looms for the production of thickened warp in woven fabrics are provided, in which a heddle, mounted in pairs, which for different types of heddle pairs have enhanced tensile strengths, such as a like modulus of elasticity for the heddles of each pair. CONSTITUTION: A heddle pair for a weaving machine, each heddle of the pair comprises a body having an elongated shaft containing a thread eye, open end eyes at opposing ends of the shaft, the end eyes opening toward one side of the body, the improvement wherein the body of each heddle of the pair has a recess adjacent at least one of the end eyes thereof opening outwardly at a side of the body opposite the one side, the recess being at a location between the adjacent end eye and the elongated shaft for increasing the resiliency of the heddle along the length thereof.
