What is weaving?
• is a textile art in which two distinct sets of
yarns or threads - called the warp and weft -
are interlaced with each other at right angles
to form a fabric cotton. the warp threads the
length-ways on the piece of cloth, while the
weft runs horizontally.
At the end of the lesson the
students will be able to:

•Identify the tools in basic hand weaving.

•Demonstrate weft and wrap as it applies
to weaving.
•Appreciate the importance of weaving.
1. A LOOM
• A loom provides you with
the framework for your
weave. It is threaded with
wrap so that you can weave
through differnet colours
and types of filling such as
yarn
2. WARP
• Warp isa thread which run
up and down your loom. we
have found that the best
fibre for wrap is cotton, it’s
soft and pliable, yet sturdy
and strong with no stretch.
3. WEFT
• Weft is the yarns, wools,
roving, fabric scraps,
ribbon etc that you use to
weave through the wrap,
left and right and right to
left, to create your woven
finish.
4. SHUTTLES
• A shuttle is used to hold
your working length of
weft whilst you’re
weaving bigger sections
( for smaller or dettailed
areas, you can also use a
tapestry needle.
5. A COMB
• Each time you complete a
line of weaving, use a comb
to push and beat down your
weft so that it fits snuggly
against the prvious line. this
will prevent you getting
gapps in your weaving
(unless you are intentionally
leaving a gap!)
6. TAPESTRY
NEEDLE
• Use a tapestry needle, which is
straight with a large eye and blunt
tip, to weave your weft through
your loom. The large eye of the
needle allows you to use a wide
range of yarns with different
weights or thicknesses and is
perfect for smaller, more detailed
sections of your weaving.
7. SHED STICK
• A shed stick is useful in
several ways. firstly, a shed
stick can be woven along the
bottom of your loom before
starting a weaving to create a
good foundation onto which
can push you down on your
weaving stitches.
8. PAIR OF SCISSORS

• Regular kitchen or craft

scissors are perfect for cutting
yarn, roving or fabric and
emboidery scissors are ideal
for finer thread or detailed
areas.
