They're called the warp - and the weft. The warp is the vertical threads attached to the frame - the weft is the threads drawn through the warp in the process of weaving.

What are all the varitys of weaving?

There are a number of types of weaving looms. Floor looms are solid and stable, but not too heavy, and are best used for longer lengths of fabrics, for example carpets and curtains. Table looms are smaller and less expensive, and are good for learners as they are more portable. A Rigid Heddle loom provides two-shaft weaving, while the Tapestry Frame loom is the simplest of the weaving looms. A Black Strap loom is an extremely simple loom made of two sticks, between which the the materials are stretched and weaved. Inkle looms and Navajo looms are names one may have heard before; the Inkle loom is a form of Table loom, while the Navajo is a type of Tapestry Frame loom.

What is the difference between weaving and knitting?

Weaving is worked on a loom. It is comprised of a series of individual threads (called warp threads) that are kept vertically under tension by the loom. The weaver then places horizontal rows of "weft" threads through the warp to make the cloth. The warp and the weft are always perpendicular to each other. Knitting is worked on a set of two pointed sticks (knitting needles). A single thread is worked in loops to make a row. Subsequent rows are built on the previous row to make the cloth, still using the same single thread.

Should I buy an Ashford or a Schacht loom?

Both companies carry a folding rigid heddle loom, Schacht has the Flip Loom and Ashford has the Knitters Loom. Both are compact and both fold for travel. Floor stands are also available for each. The advancing knobs are made out of wood on the Schacht and plastic on the Ashford. Schacht also has a wider weaving width on the 15" loom, and the Flip loom also comes in 3 different sizes, the 15", 20" and 25" eith your choice of an 8, 10 or 12 dent reed. The Schacht also has an additional brace built into the frame to offer more stability and to keep the shed opening to a consistent amount no matter how much yarn is wound on the beams. Unique to the Schacht is the added feature of being able to use two reeds/heddles while weaving to achieve twice as many threads per inch. The ideal way to choose a loom is to actually try it. Then you will know for sure which loom will work best for you.

Is weaving and making the same?

In weaving many parallel strands of thread (or material of some sort) are interleaved with another similar parallel set of strands at right angles to form cloth (or cane chair seats, etc.). The picture above shows a weaving loom. Knitting uses two long needles to interlink (sort of like a lot of knots) one long strand of thread, usually to form a garment of some sort.
