HISTORY OF WEAVING
Weaving is a technique of fabric production. It consists of intertwining of two separate yarns or threads at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Those two threads are called warp and the weft.
Fabric is usually woven on a loom which is a device that holds the warp threads in place while the weft is woven through them.

Without weaving, all there is are strands of yarn which do not achieve any practical purpose by themselves.
