What is "weaving"?
Weaving is a method of creating fabric by interlacing two sets of threads or yarns at right angles to each other. The vertical threads, called the warp, are held tight on a loom, while the horizontal threads, called the weft, are woven through them. This process forms a textile that can be used for making various items such as clothing, upholstery, and decorative fabrics. Weaving allows for the creation of different patterns, textures, and designs, depending on how the threads are arranged and manipulated.
