    WEAVING
    Weaving is one of the most ancient
    forms of human creativity. Baskets and
    textiles would not have been possible
    without weaving.
    WEAVING
    TERMINOLOGIES
    1. Weaving — The process of
    forming cloth or fabric on a loom
    by interlacing yarn or thread (or, as
    in this case, paper).
    2. Loom — A frame for weaving yarn
    or thread into cloth or fabric.
    Loom
    3. Warp — Threads running lengthwise
    on the loom. The warp is placed on the
    loom prior to beginning the weaving
    process.
    4. Weft — Threads that are weaved
    across the warp threads to form the web.
    5. Selvedge
    is a "self-finished" edge of a piece of fabric
    which keeps it from unraveling and fraying.
    The term "self-finished" means that the
    edge does not require additional finishing
    work, such as hem or bias tape, to prevent
    fraying.
