Question

During weaving, _______ threads are stretched horizontally in a loom.

• A. warp
• B. kosa
• C. weft
• D. eri

Answer 1

The correct option is C weft

Weaving is the process of converting yarn into fabric.

$\bullet$ During weaving, the threads that are stretched from the top of the loom to its bottom are called warp threads.

$\bullet$ The horizontal fibres are called weft threads.

$\bullet$ The warp threads are held stationary to the loom and the weft threads are drawn over and under the warp threads.

$\bullet$ A shuttle is a holder that carries the weft threads.

However, kosa and eri are two varieties of silk.
