Weaving
This article describes textile weaving. For other senses of this word, see
weaving (disambiguation). Weaving is an ancient
textile art and craft that involves placing two sets of threads or
yarn called the
warp and
weft of the
loom and turning them into
cloth. This cloth can be plain (in one color or a simple pattern), or it can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including
tapestries. The majority of commercial
fabrics, in the West, are woven on
computer-controlled
Jacquard looms. In the past, simpler fabrics were woven on other
dobby looms and the Jacquard harness adaptation was reserved for more complex patterns. Some believe the efficiency of the Jacquard loom, and the
Jacquard weaving process makes it more economical for mills to use them to weave all of their fabrics, regardless of the complexity of the design. However, an industrialist weaving large runs of simple plain weave fabric may need to be convinced of the logic of investing in Jacquard machines, when a much lower cost loom would suffice.
