Inside a loom: parts and motions of weaving
Warp and weft, the nine main parts of a loom, the shed-pick-beat-up cycle, and how heald frames turn the same yarn into plain, twill or dobby cloth.
A loom makes cloth by crossing two sets of yarn at right angles. The warp runs lengthwise off a beam at the back. The weft is laid across it one row, or pick, at a time. Each cycle the heald frames lift some warp ends to open a gap called the shed, the weft is carried through it, and the reed beats it into the cloth. Repeat that a few hundred times per minute and the yarn becomes fabric.
