It is believed that the first weaving loom was used in the Paleolithic era. Up until the Industrial Revolution, weaving looms were operated completely by hand.
The first known weaving looms date back to around 5000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. These early looms were simple devices that allowed for the interlacing of threads to create fabric. Over time, looms evolved in complexity, leading to the development of more advanced models used in various cultures worldwide.
In Homer's "The Odyssey," the unwoven loom refers to the clever ruse used by Penelope to delay remarrying after Odysseus's departure. She tells her suitors that she will choose a husband once she finishes weaving a funeral shroud for Odysseus's father, Laertes. Each night, however, she secretly unravels her work, prolonging the task and maintaining hope for Odysseus's return. This act symbolizes her loyalty and cunning, as well as the themes of patience and fidelity in the epic.
In hot countries nothing except something to cover their modesty. Perhaps ceremonial dress was employed at festivals. Initially, in the north wear human existence is precarious, they would have used processed animal skins stitched with bone needles and may have used hand woven materials. In modern times the Japanese used raincoats made from woven straw or leaves. Before the last Ice Age loom weaving was used and 25,000 BC knitting was used in central Europe. If one can imagine following herds over long distances during migrations through hostile environments like Ice Age Eurasia, they need sophisticated tools, sleighs, and clothing.
Flax weaving has ancient roots and is believed to have originated in the region that is now modern-day Iraq, part of the Fertile Crescent. The practice spread to various cultures, including the Egyptians, who used flax to create linen. Over time, flax weaving techniques developed in several European countries, particularly in Belgium, France, and Ireland, where it became an important part of their textile industries.

Practically, a loom is used for weaving. Knitting is accomplished on a knitting machine or completed by hand using knitting needles.
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.
