Weaving

Weaving is the primary method of fabric construction with interlacement of two sets of yarns- the warp and weft on the loom. Surface design is created by changing this interlacement of the two sets. The weft binds the two divided sets of warp in certain ways in some kind of fixed relation creating designs ranging from simple plain weave to highly patterned weaves.
