Weaving

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. The longitudinal threads are called the warp and the lateral threads are the weft, woof, or filling. The method in which these threads are interwoven affects the characteristics of the cloth.

Cloth is usually woven on a loom, a device that holds warp threads in place while filling threads are woven through them.
A fabric band that meets this definition of cloth can also be made using other methods, including tablet weaving, backstrap loom, or other techniques that can be done without looms.
