The <a href="/wiki/Warp_(weaving)" class="mw-redirect" title="Warp (weaving)">warp</a> threads are the ones stretched on the loom (from the <a href="/wiki/Proto-Indo-European" class="mw-redirect" title="Proto-Indo-European">Proto-Indo-European</a> *<i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/warp" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:warp">werp</a></i>, "to bend"<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>).

One end is fastened to one beam, the other end to a second beam, so that the warp threads all lie parallel and are all the same length. The beams are held apart to keep the warp threads taut. </p><p>The textile is woven starting at one end of the warp threads, and progressing towards the other end. The beam on the finished-fabric end is called the <i>cloth beam</i>. The other beam is called the <i>warp beam</i>. </p><p>Beams may be used as rollers to allow the weaver to weave a piece of cloth longer than the loom. As the cloth is woven, the warp threads are gradually unrolled from the warp beam, and the woven portion of the cloth is rolled up onto the cloth beam (which is also called the <i>takeup roll</i>). The portion of the fabric that has already been formed but not yet rolled up on the takeup roll is called the <i>fell</i>. </p><p>Not all looms have two beams. For instance, warp-weighted looms have only one beam; the warp yarns hang from this beam. The bottom ends of the warp yarns are tied to dangling loom weights. </p> <figure class="noresize" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><span><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png/400px-Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="266" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png/600px-Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png/800px-Simple_treadle_floorloom%2C_line_drawing.png 2x" data-file-width="3354" data-file-height="2230" usemap="#ImageMap_347580e92dbff734" resource="/wiki/File:Simple_treadle_floorloom,_line_drawing.png" /></span><map name="ImageMap_347580e92dbff734"><area href="/wiki/Lease_rods" shape="poly" coords="88,127,159,87,177,98,121,137" alt="Lease rods" title="Lease rods" /><area href="/wiki/Heddle" shape="poly" coords="162,96,227,66,229,137,167,171" alt="Heddles and heddle frames or harness" title="Heddles and heddle frames or harness" /><area href="/wiki/Beater_(weaving)" shape="poly" coords="243,61,238,165,319,97,312,38" alt="Batten bar or beater bar" title="Batten bar or beater bar" /><area href="/wiki/Reed_(weaving)" shape="poly" coords="257,127,303,95,303,106,258,138" alt="Reed" title="Reed" /><area href="/wiki/Shuttle_(weaving)" shape="poly" coords="316,97,305,110,313,115,325,104" alt="Shuttle" title="Shuttle" /><area href="/wiki/Treadle" shape="poly" coords="192,190,174,219,332,241,357,211" alt="Treadle" title="Treadle" /><area href="/wiki/Breast_beam" shape="poly" coords="325,99,295,126,297,152,338,116,338,98" alt="Breast beam" title="Breast beam" /><area href="/wiki/Warp_beam" shape="poly" coords="39,118,40,141,119,107,122,95,116,86" alt="Warp beam" title="Warp beam" /></map><figcaption>A simple treadle floor loom.

The shed is the space through which the filling yarn, carried by the shuttle, can be inserted, forming the weft. <ul><li>Sheds may be simple: for instance, lifting all the odd threads and all the even threads alternately produces a <a href="/wiki/Tabby_weave" class="mw-redirect" title="Tabby weave">tabby weave</a> (the two sheds are called the shed and countershed). More intricate shedding sequences can produce more complex weaves, such as <a href="/wiki/Twill_weave" class="mw-redirect" title="Twill weave">twill</a>.</li></ul></li> <li><b>Picking</b>. A single crossing of the weft thread from one side of the loom to the other, through the shed, is known as a pick. Picking is passing the weft through the shed. A new shed is then formed before a new pick is inserted. <ul><li>Conventional shuttle looms can operate at speeds of about 150 to 160 picks per minute.<sup id="cite_ref-Collier_1970_104_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Collier_1970_104-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul></li> <li><b>Battening</b>. After the pick, the new pass of weft thread has to be tamped up against the fell, to avoid making a fabric with large, irregular gaps between the weft threads. This compression of the weft threads is called battening.</li></ul> <p>There are also usually two <b>secondary motions</b>, because the newly constructed fabric must be wound onto cloth beam. This process is called taking up. At the same time, the warp yarns must be let off or released from the warp beam, unwinding from it. To become fully automatic, a loom needs a <b>tertiary motion</b>, the filling stop motion. This will brake the loom if the weft thread breaks.<sup id="cite_ref-Collier_1970_104_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Collier_1970_104-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An automatic loom requires 0.125 hp to 0.5 hp to operate (100W to 400W). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Components">Components</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Loom&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Components"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A loom, then, usually needs two beams, and some way to hold them apart.

Many advances in weft insertion have been made in order to make manufactured cloth more cost effective. Weft insertion rate is a limiting factor in production speed. As of 2010<sup class="plainlinks noexcerpt noprint asof-tag update" style="display:none;"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Loom&action=edit">[update]</a></sup>, industrial looms can weave at 2,000 <a href="/wiki/Weft" class="mw-redirect" title="Weft">weft insertions</a> per minute.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There are five main types of weft insertion and they are as follows: </p> <ul><li>Shuttle: The first-ever powered looms were shuttle-type looms. Spools of weft are unravelled as the shuttle travels across the shed. This is very similar to projectile methods of weaving, except that the weft spool is stored on the shuttle. These looms are considered obsolete in modern industrial fabric manufacturing because they can only reach a maximum of 300 picks per minute.</li> <li>Air jet: An <a href="/wiki/Air_jet_loom" class="mw-redirect" title="Air jet loom">air-jet loom</a> uses short quick bursts of compressed air to propel the weft through the shed in order to complete the weave. Air jets are the fastest traditional method of weaving in modern manufacturing and they are able to achieve up to 1,500 picks per minute. However, the amounts of compressed air required to run these looms, as well as the complexity in the way the air jets are positioned, make them more costly than other looms.</li> <li>Water jet: Water-jet looms use the same principle as air-jet looms, but they take advantage of pressurized water to propel the weft. The advantage of this type of weaving is that water power is cheaper where water is directly available on site. Picks per minute can reach as high as 1,000.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Rapier_loom" title="Rapier loom">Rapier loom</a>: This type of weaving is very versatile, in that rapier looms can weave using a large variety of threads. There are several types of rapiers, but they all use a hook system attached to a rod or metal band to pass the pick across the shed. These machines regularly reach 700 picks per minute in normal production.</li> <li>Projectile: <a href="/w/index.php?title=Projectile_loom&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Projectile loom (page does not exist)">Projectile looms</a> utilize an object that is propelled across the shed, usually by spring power, and is guided across the width of the cloth by a series of reeds. The projectile is then removed from the weft fibre and it is returned to the opposite side of the machine so it can be reused. Multiple projectiles are in use in order to increase the pick speed. Maximum speeds on these machines can be as high as 1,050 ppm.</li> <li>Circular: Modern circular looms use up to ten shuttles, driven in a circular motion from below by electromagnets, for the weft yarns, and cams to control the warp threads. The warps rise and fall with each shuttle passage, unlike the common practice of lifting all of them at once. Circular looms are used to create seamless tubes of fabric for products such as hosiery, sacks, clothing, fabric hoses (such as fire hoses) and the like.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a
