Yes, Guilford can create a warp for a narrow loom. Their expertise in textile production allows for customized solutions tailored to specific loom sizes and requirements. By using the appropriate materials and techniques, they can efficiently produce a warp that meets the dimensions and specifications of narrow looms.
The strings on a loom are called warp and weft. The warp refers to the vertical threads that are stretched taut on the loom, while the weft consists of the horizontal threads that are woven through the warp to create the fabric. Together, these elements form the basis of weaving.
Weft or warp threads
In weaving, the set of fibers that is held taut on a loom or frame is called the "warp." The warp threads run lengthwise and are anchored to the loom, providing the structure for the fabric. The weft, which is woven through the warp threads, runs perpendicular to them, creating the final textile.

The warp
From Wikipedia:"In weaving cloth, the warp is the set of lengthwise yarns that are held in tension on a frame or loom."
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.
In weaving cloth, the warp is the set of lengthwise yarns that are held in tension on a frame or loom. The yarn that is inserted over-and-under the warp threads is called the weft, woof, or filler.
Weaving involves interlacing two sets of yarn or threads called the warp and the weft, typically on a loom. The warp threads run vertically on the loom, while the weft threads are woven horizontally through the warp threads. By passing the weft thread over and under the warp threads in a specific pattern, different types of weaves and patterns can be created.
Marta Hoffmann has written: 'The warp-weighted loom'
In weaving, the warp is yarn that is attached to either beam on the loom (length-wise). It's what the weft passes back and forth through.
A water jet loom weaves fabric using high-pressure jets of water to propel the weft yarn across the warp threads. The loom operates by creating a water jet that forces the weft yarn through the shed formed by the raised warp threads. This method allows for high-speed weaving and is particularly effective for synthetic and lightweight materials. The loom's efficiency and ability to handle delicate fabrics make it popular in the textile industry.
