Rilla Marshall – Weaving is the process by which two sets of threads are interlaced at right angles to form a continuous web, or cloth. The warp threads are the lengthwise yarns, which are set up first on the loom. The weft yarns are the crosswise intersecting yarns. The loom consists of a framework to hold the warp yarns rigid while the weft is interlaced. Depending on how the warp is threaded onto the loom and the order the treadles are pressed to raise warp yarns, a multitude of patterns / structures can be woven to create textiles.
