If you are using a rigid heddle loom, you would use 2 hedddles in several different situations. If you are using a fine weaving yarn such as 10/2 cotton you might use 2 10 dent heddles for a sett of 20 Or a 10 and a 12 if your sett is 22. Also, if you are doing double weave on a rigid heddle loom you need 2 heddles usually of the same size.
Of course, if you are using multiple sized yarns on a rigid heddle loom, you could use a variable dent heddle like the one made by Schacht for the Flip loom. And, the Schacht Flip arrives with space for 2 heddles, no need to purchase a heddle kit like some other rh looms. Just something to consider.
