Detailed Weaving Process

1. Warp Preparation:

Warp yarns, which run lengthwise, are prepared and wound onto a warp beam. 

These yarns may be sized (coated with a starch-like compound) to provide strength and speed for weaving. 

2. Loom Setup:

The warp beam is mounted on the loom, and the warp yarns are threaded through the various parts of the loom. 

3. Weaving Cycle:

Shedding: Warp yarns are separated to create a "shed" (an opening) for the weft. 

Picking: The weft yarn (or shuttle carrying the weft) is passed through the shed. 

Beating: The weft yarn is pushed into place against the previously woven fabric to create a new row. 

4. Repeat:

These steps (shedding, picking, and beating) are repeated to form the fabric.

5. Additional Steps:

Take-up: The woven fabric is wound onto a cloth roller. 

Let-off: The warp is released from the warp beam at a controlled rate.
