Warp And Weft
A close up view of warp and weft in a woven fabric.
Warp and weft are terms for the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp. A single thread of the weft crossing the warp is called a pick.
Inventions during the 18th century spurred the Industrial Revolution, with the "picking stick" and the "flying shuttle” (patented by John Kay, 1733) speeding up production of fabric (Wiki).
