A very short encyclopedia entry defining 'warp' as the threads of silk, wool, linen, hemp and other fibers stretched lengthwise on the weaver's loom. The weft threads are passed across them with a shuttle to form cloth, ribbon, fustian and similar fabrics. It is a single-sentence definition with no technical detail or illustrations.
