Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of

yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

The warp threads run lengthways of the piece of cloth, and the weft runs

across from side to side.

In general, weaving involves using a loom to interlace two sets of threads at

right angles to each other: the warp which runs longitudinally and the weft

(older woof) that crosses it. One warp thread is called an end and one weft

thread is called a pick.

The warping process transfers the yarn from multiple packages to a section
beam. To produce a quality beam suitable for weaving, the following must
be accomplished:
1) no lint, fly, wild yarn
2) no high or low selvage
3) maintain warper speed
4) maintain braking systems
5) no crossed or loose ends
6) uniform tension across beam
7) uniform tension beam to beam
8) smooth section beams, rollers
In order to interlace warp and weft threads to produce fabric on any type

of weaving machine, three operations are necessary :

A) Shedding: Separating the warp threads, which run down the fabric

into two layers to form a tunnel known as the shed

B) Picking: Passing the weft thread, which traverses across the fabric,

through the shed

C) Beating-up: Pushing the newly inserted length of weft, known as the

pick, into the already woven fabric at a point known as the fell
