R’ Eliezer says: One who weaves three threads at the beginning, or [adds] one thread to woven fabric, is liable. But the Sages say: Whether at the beginning or at the end, its amount is two threads.

One who sets two heddles of a home loom, [or] of a commercial loom; [and one who positions the warp reeds of] a sifter, a sieve, or a basket, is liable. One who sews two stitches, and one who tears in order to sew two stitches.

One who tears in his anger, or for his dead, and all who act destructively, are exempt. But one who destroys in order to repair, his [minimum] measure [for liability] is the same as for repairs.

The [minimum] measure [for liability] of one who whitens, combs, dyes, or spins, is double the width of a sit. And one who weaves two threads, his [minimum] measure [for liability] is a full sit.
