Abstract: A device for spreading lengths of warp thread mounted on a weaving frame to allow lengths of weft thread to be woven therethrough. The device includes an elongated bar member rotatably mounted to the weaving frame for passage underneath the lengths of warp thread. A plurality of transverse slots are provided through the bar member for selectively allowing certain ones of the lengths of warp thread to be received therein. Certain of the plurality of slots are substantially 180.degree. opposed from other ones of the plurality of slots so that certain ones of the lengths of warp thread will be received in certain ones of the plurality of slots while other ones of the lengths of warp thread are held substantially on the outer circumference of the bar member to create a shed between certain ones of the lengths of warp thread to allow lengths of weft thread to be easily woven therethrough. When the bar member is rotated substantially 180.degree.
