A one-page encyclopedia entry defining weaving as the production of cloth on a loom. It covers the warp and weft, the stages from darning to shedding, the parts of the common loom (heddles, lay, reed, shuttle), and the draw-loom and Jacquard loom for figure weaving. It also notes the development of the power-loom, including the Miller protector, and 1857 American patents by N. B. Carney (circular loom) and E. B. Bigelow (double pile fabrics).
