A "telar" is a traditional weaving loom used to create textiles. It consists of a frame that holds threads in place, allowing artisans to interlace additional threads to form patterns and designs. Telars can vary in size and complexity, from simple hand-held versions to large, intricate machines used in commercial textile production. The process of weaving on a telar involves two main sets of threads: the warp, which runs vertically, and the weft, which is woven horizontally. This technique has been used for centuries in various cultures, contributing to the rich history of textile arts and crafts around the world, including Mayan and Andean traditions.
