～Loom (Weaving Machine)～
information
A loom is a tool designed to create a piece of fabric by interlacing vertical threads, called the "warp," and horizontal threads, called the "weft," alternately.
First, the warp threads are stretched tight, and a set of alternating warp threads is lifted up to create a gap (called a shed). Next, a tool called a "shuttle"—which holds the coiled weft thread—is passed through this gap. Then, a comb-like component called a "reed" is used to beat the weft thread forward to pack it tightly.
By repeating this process, individual threads are transformed into a strong and beautiful piece of fabric.
