A loom is a mechanical device used to weave warp and weft yarns into fabric, serving as one of the most essential tools in the textile industry. It works by controlling the tension and arrangement of the warp threads, creating a shed through which the weft thread is inserted—typically using a shuttle, air jet, or rapier—to interlace the yarns and form continuous fabric. Looms can be classified into various types, such as shuttle looms, shuttleless looms, and air-jet looms, depending on their drive and weaving mechanisms. They are widely used in the production of textiles made from cotton, linen, silk, synthetic fibers, and more. Modern looms are characterized by high speed, efficiency, and automation, significantly enhancing fabric quality and manufacturing productivity.
