Best Answer

The loom was invented as a result of the desire of people to find a machine to weave threads into cloth. The "crosshatch" that is woven cloth is much more quickly "assembled" (woven) by using a machine to do the work.

Woven cloth has been around for thousands of years, and man wove grass and such before weaving cloth. It only makes sense that once the idea of weaving strands of material (reeds, grass or anything else) together to make useful items arose, people actively searched for a way to construct a device of some kind to weave fine material (like thread) into cloth.
