Warp & Weft

How does the weft thread get through the warp? To make the fabric, the weft thread has to be woven through the warp threads, and this is how my loom does it. The older Hattersley loom uses shuttles, where the yarn sits inside and that takes the weft threads though, but my loom (and most that Harris Tweed is now woven on) works in a different way. This loom is a Rapier loom, the Rapier being the little metal thing you can see in the pictures. It picks the weft thread up, holds it tight in its hea

This weaving video shows the process of creating fabric by interlacing warp and weft threads. Watch how patterns form as threads are carefully passed and tightened, demonstrating the skill and rhythm of traditional weaving. #Weaving #sareelove #Eaststarsaree #FashionWithHeritage | East Star Handlooms
