On the modern loom, simple and intricate shedding operations are performed automatically by the heddle or heald frame, also known as a harness. Shedding is the raising of part of the warp yarn to form a shed (the vertical space between the raised and unraised warp yarns), through which the filling yarn, carried by the shuttle, can be inserted, forming the weft. In the loom, yarn processing includes shedding, picking, battening and taking-up operations. The major components of the loom are the warp beam, heddles, harnesses or shafts (as few as two, four is common, sixteen not unheard of), shuttle, reed and takeup roll. the ones stretched on the loom (from the Proto-Indo-European * werp, "to bend" ) with the transverse threads, the weft, i.e. Weaving is done by intersecting the longitudinal threads, the warp, i.e. See also: Weaving and Textile manufacturing terminology Weaving demonstration on an 1830 handloom in the weaving museum in Leiden Passing the shuttle through the shed īy 1838 "loom" had gained the additional meaning of a machine for interlacing thread.
