Continuous frames {loom}| can weave cloth.
parts
Looms have rollers {loom beam}, on which warp threads are wound tight. Warp-thread even-numbered ends pass through loops in middle of vertical wires on a frame {heald}. Odd-numbered warp threads pass through loops on second heald. Warp threads pass through frame vertical wires {reed, frame} and attach to second roller. As one heald rises, the other falls, so shuttle carrying weft thread can pass through. Reed presses new weft thread against previous weft thread.
types
Weaves {plain weave} can go over and under alternating warp threads, so weft threads go over and under same warp threads. Weaves {canvas weave} can go over and under every two warp threads, so weft threads go over and under same warp threads. Weaves {twill weave} can go over and under every two warp threads, so alternating weft threads go over and under different warp threads.
