    Weaving is one of the oldest crafts in the world, dating back at least 12,000 years. It involves interlacing two sets of threads - the vertical warp threads and the horizontal weft threads - to create cloth. Originally done by hand, weaving became mechanized over time with the development of the loom. In the 18th century, inventions like the flying shuttle helped double production speeds. While hand weaving still exists, weaving is now predominantly a mechanized industrial process. Wool from sheep was one of the earliest textile materials and the spinning wheel, developed in India, helped advance weaving technology in Europe.

    Weaving: A Classic Art
    Weaving is a method of interlacing two sets of threads, the warp threads and the
    weft (horizontal) threads, to make cloth. The word textile is often used in place of
    cloth. A person who makes woven cloth is called a weaver.

    History
    The origin of fabric wearing is still not known. The evidence of the weaving items
    similar to woven fabric found at various archaeological sites, supports speculation
    that fabric weaving may have evolved from rope making and mat or basket
    weaving from prehistoric times. Therefore it could be said that the art of fabric
    making is one of the oldest crafts in the world.
    The principle of fabric weaving is to weave two groups of threads, one called warp,
    and the other called weft. Design patterns and color can be added to make fabrics
    more attractive.
    History of Textile Weaving is acknowledged as one of the oldest surviving craft in
    the world. The tradition of weaving traces back to Neolithic times that is
    approximately 12,000 years ago. Even before the actual process of weaving was
    discovered, the basic principle of weaving was applied to interlace branches and
    twigs to create fences, shelters and baskets for protection.
    Weaving is one of the primary methods of textile production and it involves
    interlacing a set of vertical threads with a set of horizontal threads. The set of
    vertical threads is known as wrap and the set of horizontal threads is known as
    weft. Weaving can be done by hand or it can also be done by using machines.
    Machines used for weaving are termed as loom.
    Loom originated from crude wooden frame and gradually transformed into the
    modern sophisticated electronic weaving machine. Nowadays, weaving has become
    a mechanized process though hand weaving is still in practice. John Kay of Bury,
    England first discovered flying shuffle in 1733, which speeded the process of
    weaving, and the production was almost doubled. Initially the weavers did weaving
    by hand but with the mechanization of the weaving and industrial revolution, the
    traditional hand weavers felt threatened to their very livelihood. Wool available
    from sheep served as the earliest textile fabric available for spinning into yarn and
    then for weaving into cloth. The first spinning wheel was discovered in India and
    then it reached Europe in the latter half of the 14th century.
