Fabric is the cloth material used to make clothes. It is produced from fibres through various processes like weaving, knitting, or felting fibres. These processes result in many forms of fabrics such as loom fabric. Clothing, a daily term used in place for fabrics, is quite essential. What we wear on our bodies has got meaning. Similarly, the fabric that makes our clothes, adds meaning to the outfit. Fabric is the most nucleus thing in weaving the textile for every designer. 

The Two-Step Fabrication process:

1. The Process of Spinning:

Fibres are first converted into yarn by spinning. In this process, Fibres from a mass of cotton (or wool, silk, etc.) are drawn out and twisted. On twisting, the tiny fibres are brought together to form a long and twisted thread called ‘yarn’. Loom fabrics follow a similar kind of process as well.  

2. The Process of Weaving and Knitting:

Followed by spinning, the fabric is made from yarn through the process of weaving or knitting.? In weaving, fabrics are produced by interlacing two different sets of yarns (threads) horizontally or vertically or by arranging yarns passing in one direction with other yarns crossing it.

In weaving, the loom fabric is made with two sets of yarns simultaneously. Here, the use of loom is made to produce the fabric. There are two kinds of looms: Handlooms and Powerlooms. A handloom is a machine or a loom that uses human power. Whereas a power loom is a loom that works on electric power. 

Knitting involves making loom fabrics by interlocking loops with a single yarn (single thread) like braids in rows, using needles that are hooked. In knitting, the loom fabric is made using a single yarn. This method is mostly done by hand using needles. Machines are also used but very rarely.  

Loom Fabric: Fabrics woven using looms.

Loom Fabric is any textile formed by weaving on a loom. Loom Fabric is made of many threads woven on a warp and a weft in the looms. Technically, the fabric is made by interlacing two or more threads at right angles to one another. Loom Fabrics are generally more durable. Fabrics that are woven do not stretch as easily as knitted fabrics, which can make them advantageous for many purposes. 

There are many kinds of weaving looms to choose from. It depends on what you plan to weave. There are several things while planning on buying a weaving loom. The things to consider include how large a piece do you plan to weave; what knowledge you have about the weaving looms; how much experience do you have with weaving looms; how much space is needed for your looms and how much time are you willing to spend on it. 

Weaving is a dynamic way of creating fabric. They can be easily moulded and cut into different shapes.  Loom Fabric is excellent textile for producing styles in garments. Fabrics woven with a heavy number of warp and weft yarns keep the shape well. Fabrics with a low count of warp and weft threads are less durable. They may snag or stretch quickly. Whereas Loom Fabric that is woven is manufactured in different widths depending on the end-use.
