In weaving, the loom keeps the thread system stretched, allowing the combination of warp and weft threads. Ancient looms range from flexible devices (e.g., ground looms) to fixed frames (warp‐weighted loom; two‐beam loom). The development of loom types depends on availability of raw materials for textile production, desired features of woven textiles, craft, and cultural tradition.
