Loom
A loom is a
machine or device for
weaving thread or
yarn into
textiles. Looms can range from very small hand-held frames, to large free-standing hand looms, to huge automatic mechanical devices. A loom can also refer to an electrical cable assembly or harness i.e. wiring loom.In practice, the basic purpose of any loom is to hold the
warp threads under
tension to facilitate the interweaving of the
weft threads. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the basic function is the same.
