Description: Short history of the weaving loom, from the times of the hand weaving looms, until the inventions of the Industrial Revolution enabled the invention of the foot peddle loom in Japan from which the fully automatic shuttle loom was later developed. From the Yoshida Machinery Co., Ltd web site.
Age of Hand Spinning and Weaving It is said that humans began weaving fiber to make cloth before 5000 B.C. The first fibers used were plant fibers such as flax and cotton. Later animal fibers such as wool and silk were used. Woven cloth is made from the following three basic processes. [Stomatal Opening] This is when the warp is separated into top and bottom layers. [Weft inserting] This is when the shuttle is passed through the warp. [Beating] The weft inserted yarn is beat back with the guide bar. This process does no change even when switching from a hand operated loom to a machine operated loom.
