Weave&Peg Loom

Weaving involves a warp and a weft thread and the easiest way to remember it is that weft sounds like left therefore the weft is the thread that goes from left to right and the warp is the one up and down. Weaving has become a mass production industry.
A textile impression has been found and indicates that weave has been around the paleolithic era.

A loom holds the warp threads and the weft threads are woven from one end to the other alternating the warp threads with the leavers. There are 3 basic weaves there's plain weave, satin weave and twill. You have the opportunity weave a decorative design which would need to be planned.


A contemporary artist who uses weave is Suki Russack. She creates tapestries of women with a double weave. A double weave is where there are 2 threads on both the warp and the weft that are woven to create an image.
