Mechanical weaving is a process that uses machines to interlace threads and create fabric. This method involves a loom, which holds the threads in place and moves them to form patterns. Mechanical weaving allows for faster production and consistent quality compared to hand weaving. The main components of mechanical weaving include the warp threads, which run lengthwise, and the weft threads, which are woven across. Various types of looms, such as Jacquard and shuttle looms, enable different weaving techniques and designs, making it possible to produce a wide range of textiles for clothing, upholstery, and other applications.
