What is Weaving?
{{about|[[textile]] work|the Australian actor|Hugo Weaving}} [[Image:Weaver_-_Traditional_making_of_linen.jpg|thumb|200px|Woman weaving on a loom. The warp threads are white.]] '''Weaving''' is the interlacing of two sets of [[thread]]s at right angles to each other to form [[cloth]]. Weaving is usually done on a [[loom]]. One set of threads is called the ''warp''. These threads are held taut and in [[parallel]] order on the loom by ''harnesses'' creating a space called the ''shed''. The ''weft'' thread is wound onto ''bobbins''. In old-fashioned hand weaving the bobbins are held in a ''[[shuttle]]'', which carries the weft thread through the shed. The warp threads are moved over and under the weft threads. Modern high speed weaving does not use a shuttle. [[Category:Hobbies]] [[Category:Weaving| ]] {{stub}}
