Basics
- This Page Aims to Overview the Basic Concept of Looms, Typical Machines in Use, and Potential Avenues of Development for OSE
- A Weaving Loom Essentially Amounts to Device to Hold Threads Allowing for Woven Textiles to Be Produced in an Easier Manner
- Most are also Automated nowadays
- They hold Threads under Tension which are called the Warp
- The Weft is then Woven through the many Warps
- The most simple implementations can be made from 2x4s and basic bolts etc, and simply have a Comb, a Mechanism to Hold the Warp Apart, and a Shuttle Thrown Back and Forth to move the Weft through the Warp
- More Sophisticated Machines can Manipulate the Location of the Warp Threads to allow for more Weave Patterns than a simple Plain Weave
- Also one can either manually, or via a variety of mechanisms swap the Weft Thread to another Color/Material Mid-Weave allowing for simple multicolored Bulk Fabric all the way to Tapestries / Woven Fabric Books (Interesting Concept, Doesn't Seem Too Common, and is somewhat Obsolete, but for Waterproof Books and Waterproof Charts may be of interest) (In 1886 Someone Made a Woven Silk Prayerbook Entirly by a Jacquard Loom which was one of the famous instances of this)
- Semi-Automated Looms, where the "Shuttle" is manually "thrown" but the Warp is adjusted by machine may be of interest for prototyping, especially with E-Textiles and other novel applications of weaving
