Done! I did it! And it was not as difficult and frustrating at all as I expected. I had planned to spend the whole morning, also the afternoon if needed, repairing the damages but I completed it in an hour. It is not neat. I neither changed any new heddle. Each heddle eye were undamaged so I used extra cotton thread (strong) to lift up the broken heddles.
I already tried out and it all works and stays on with the knots! It feels amazing something was done this easy and fast; without tears. Now I can finish this rag rug and get them all out off the cloth roller!
