Weaving is the process of converting yarn into fabric.

$\bullet$ During weaving, the threads that are stretched from the top of the loom to the 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 ae drawn over and under the warp threads.

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