Weaving is a textile craft in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads, called the warp and the filling or weft (older woof), are interlaced to form a fabric or cloth. The warp threads run lengthways on the piece of cloth, and the weft runs across from side to side, across the bolt of cloth.

Cloth is woven on a loom, a device that holds the warp threads in place while filling threads are woven through them. Weft is an old English word meaning "that which is woven".

The way the warp and filling threads interlace with each other is called the weave. The majority of woven products are created with one of three basic weaves: plain weave, satin weave, or twill.

Woven cloth can be plain (in one colour or a simple pattern), or can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including tapestries. Fabric in which the warp and/or weft is tie-dyed before weaving is called ikat.

The ancient craft of handweaving, along with hand spinning, remains a popular craft. The majority of commercial fabrics in the West are woven on computer-controlled Jacquard looms. In the past, simpler fabrics were woven on dobby looms, while the Jacquard harness adaptation was reserved for more complex patterns. Some believe the efficiency of the Jacquard loom, with its Jacquard weaving process, makes it more economical for mills to use them to weave all of their fabrics, regardless of the complexity of the design.

How do you build a weaving loom?
Q. I knit and crochet a lot and want to start weaving fabric. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a loom so i was wondering if there are any blueprints or instructions to make one myself! thanks!

A. Cheapest loom to put together is probably a Navajo loom... a couple of uprights and a couple of crossmembers and a little rope and a couple more sticks: If you're interested in a floor loom: There are many other types of looms and weaving devices available... search "card weaving", "inkle loom" and "backstrap loom" for instance. All are inexpensive ways of weaving.

A. The pole weaving method is very simular to the tract weaving method. The difference: track weaving- braided cornrow tracts with hair wefts sewn on. Pole weaving- tracts are made by forming the tract-not by braiding, but, like wrapping the hair with weaving twine and then sewing on the wefts of hair. They are equally bulky and after the hair is sewn in, the style is pretty much set. The biggest difference between to two methods is how the tracts are created.

what are some hair products that can prevent hair shedding for both natural and weaving hair?
Q. My weave keeps shedding when I comb it, so I will like to know what are some hair products to prevent it. I used oil sheen, but I dont want my hair to look oily and too thin. Is it the hair itself? I will like to know what to do.

A. Shedding is natural, You can't stop it. When you comb your hair, Your pulling the already fallen pieces out. So with any type of product, You can't stop it.
