A loom is a device used to weave threads together to create fabric. It holds the threads in place while other threads are woven through them, forming patterns and designs. Looms can be simple, like a hand-held frame, or complex, like large machines used in factories. There are different types of looms, such as the tapestry loom and the Jacquard loom, each serving unique purposes in textile production. Weaving on a loom allows artisans to express creativity and produce beautiful textiles, which can be used for clothing, home decor, and more.
