Weaving
It is a textile craft that makes use of threads or yarns to form a cloth or fabric. The threads that run from one side to the other are called the filling or weft, and those that run along the direction of the length are called the warp.

What two colors make another color?
Any two different colours mixed make a different colour, of course the changes can be extremely minor relative to the amount of colour you start with and the amount of colour you add, the difference between the colours is also a factor, for example if you have 10Litres of Light Blue paint and you added 100ml of Sky Blue paint (I do believe there is a slight difference) then the change in the colour would be extremely minute. Of course, i could have just said a few basic combinations but hey... that's life :P
blue and red make purple
What is the pocket weave fabric?
Pocket weave fabric is a type of textile characterized by its unique structure, which features small, pocket-like indentations or loops created during the weaving process. This design provides added texture and can enhance the fabric's durability and insulation properties. Commonly used in apparel and home furnishings, pocket weave fabrics can offer both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, making them versatile in various applications.
Compare between projectile weaving and rapier weaving?
Compare the difference between projectile looms and rapier loom by production-wise, price wise. Which machine gives more project with less capital investment.
1- Take the yarn and tie a loop around your thumb
2- Weave the yarn in and out of your fingers (but not your thumb) until you have two lines of yarn showing on your fingers on both sides.
3- Take the bottom "line" of yarn on your index finger and pull it over your finger, taking it up above the first line. That loop of yarn should now be on the back of your hand. Repeat with all your fingers
4- Weave the yarn in and out of your fingers again until there is another line. Continue for as long as you want or until you run out of yarn. A nice rope-like structure of yarn should form at the back of your hand.
5- To finish, take the bottom line of yarn on each finger and do as before so there is only one line in the front. Cut the yarn, leaving some extra length, and pull it through the loop on each finger.
6- Tie a knot at both ends
7- Gently slide each loop off each finger one at a time.
Hair weaves depend on where you buy it from & whether or not it's human hair or synthetic hair. Human hair is obviously more expensive, but it's best to invest in it if you plan to wear it for a long period of time & want the quality.
A weaving loom is a device used to create cloth by weaving threads or yarn together. Threads are stretched lengthwise (warps) and crosswise (wefts) on the loom. The weaver passes the weft yarn over and under the warp threads to create the fabric. This process is repeated to build the desired pattern or design.
Can you dye with false indigo?
Yes, it is not as intense a colour, nor is it as colour fast but you can use it.
Who was the first person to weave?
The identity of the very first person to weave is not documented in history, as weaving is an ancient practice that predates written records. Archaeological evidence suggests that weaving dates back to around 7000 BCE in the Near East, where early humans began creating textiles from natural fibers. The invention of weaving techniques likely emerged gradually among various cultures, making it difficult to attribute the achievement to a single individual.
How do you warp a cricket loom?
you can warp a cricket loom one of two ways: Direct method or Indirect method.

Indirect Warping Using a Warping Board
For this method, a warping board is used to measure the warp. The warp is first measured on the warping board and then brought to the loom for threading.
Set up a guide string
Step 1. Determine which pegs of the warping board to use by cutting a piece of string a few inches longer than the length of one warp thread. Use a string that is a different color than your warp yarn.
Tie one end of the string to a peg and work back and forth around the pegs until the string runs out. Adjust the starting point until the end of the guide string comes out even at the set of 2 pegs marked x in figure 11.
Measure the warp
Step 2. Tie the end of the warp yarn to the starting peg. Wind back and forth across the warping board following the guide string until you reach the ending two pegs. Wind a figure-eight around these (figure 12). This is the cross and its purpose is to keep the warp ends in order. Wind back to the beginning peg. You have now measured 2 warp ends. Continue following this path until the total number of warp ends are measured.

Step 3. Secure the cross by tying it loosely with contrasting yarn in five places (figure 13) using overhand knots. Now tie choke ties along the warp at about 18" inch intervals. Tie these tightly with a bow tie. Choke ties keep the warp from tangling. After the warp has been tied, remove it from the warping board. Cut all the loops on the non-cross end and tie the end of the warp bundle in an overhand knot.
Thread the heddle
Step 4. Wrap the warp around the front beam so that it extends about 10" past the heddle.
Step 5. Place the heddle in neutral. Find the center of the heddle and then measure out to one side half the width of your warp. (For example, if your warp is 10" wide, measure out 5" and begin threading at this point.)
Step 6. Hold the cross in one hand so that each section is separated (figure 14), and then cut the loops at the end and the five ties holding the cross. Notice that the threads stack up Lincoln-log style. Take the top end and use the heddle hook to thread it through the slot at the outermost edge of your weaving. Take the next thread and thread it through the adjacent hole. Alternately thread slot, hole, slot, hole until all warp ends are threaded.
Step 7. Tie groups of about 1" of warp ends in overhand knots across the entire warp. Then tie each group around the back apron rod and secure this knot by tightening it up to the first knot (figure 15).
Wind the warp onto the warp beam
Step 8. Begin cranking the warp onto the warp beam in a clockwise direction. Remove choke ties as they approach the heddle.
Step 9. When the warp has been rolled around the warp beam once, insert heavy paper between the layers of warp to separate them.
Step 10. Continue winding on, stopping every so often to pull hard on the warp bundle to tighten the warp on the warp beam.

Figure 15: Tie the warp to the back apron rod Step 11. Stop winding when there is about 10" of warp left in front of the heddle.
Tie onto the front apron rod
Tie onto the front apron rod in the same way as for the direct method (step 15, figure 10, page 7).
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.
What impact on society did the weaving loom have?
It help by making blanket to decorate your house with and to keep the cold air to come into your home
