Loom: from 6000 BC
Weaving of cloth requires a loom a structure which will hold taut the vertical threads the warp. While the weaver snakes each horizontal thread in and out to form the weft. When the threads of the weft are pressed down tight. This forms a solid mesh with the warp, a section of the cloth at the bottom of the loom is complete. A pattern is achieved by varying the colour of the threads in warp and weft. The earliest known evidence of a loom comes from Egypt in about 4400 BC. But some method of supporting the warp exists from the beginning of weaving. The threads must either be suspended and held taut by a weight at the bottom or else must be stretched in the rigid frame of a conventional loom.
