Weaving is an ancient textile art and craft that involves placing two sets of threads or
yarn made of fiber called the warp and weft of the loom and turning them into cloth.
 
        
                 a loom    is the frame that holds the warp threads
        aligned and under tension so that weaving can take place.
  
 
      
            The warp is all of the threads that
      are aligned vertically on a loom before
                              weaving begins.

             

              The weft is all of the horizontal
         threads that interlace with the vertically  aligned warp.
