What is a "loom"?

A loom is a device used for weaving threads or yarn into fabric. It holds the vertical threads, known as the warp, in place while the horizontal threads, known as the weft, are woven through them. By manipulating the loom, a person can create patterns and designs as they interlace the threads. Looms come in various types and sizes, from simple hand looms to large industrial machines, and are essential tools in textile production for making items like clothing, rugs, and tapestries.
