The art of looms: how does this ancient process work?

by admin on Feb 18, 2022
A arte dos teares: como funciona este processo ancestral? - LethesHome

Behind Letheshome's textile articles, which bring so much style to your home and are known for their artisanal manufacture using looms, lies an ancient art that many people are completely unaware of.

Behind Letheshome's textile articles, which bring so much style to your home and are known for their artisanal manufacture using looms, lies an ancient art that many people are completely unaware of.
Here we explain how this process works, which is so appreciated by our customers.

A loom is a tool used in weaving whose function is to knit threads - we'll get to that later - to join them together and form a single element and, therefore, the desired piece. This process involves the craftsperson intertwining two threads positioned at a 90º angle to each other.
These lines are then distinguished into two sets of threads: the vertical one, called the warp, is placed stretched across the loom frame; and the horizontal one, the weft, which is pulled transversely through the previous one with the help of a needle (or shuttle).
A loom also has a comb that allows the warp threads to be raised and lowered in turn, thus allowing the shed (space between the even and odd threads of the warp) to be opened and the weft to pass through.

What seems like a complicated process is actually an archaic technology that dates back to Ancient Greece.
Despite remaining an art form that is quite faithful to its origins, its functionality has been developed and improved over the years.

There are different types of looms, depending on the method and the desired product: be it a carpet, clothing, towels, blankets, and many other items.
It is also worth noting that a loom can be used to work with a huge variety of materials - from wool to jute -, which gives the craftsperson endless possibilities for creating their pieces. We can say that the limit is really only your imagination.
