Warp
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A very short dictionary entry defining the warp as the threads of silk, wool, linen, hemp and similar fibers stretched lengthwise on the loom. The weft (woof) threads are passed across them with a shuttle to make cloth, ribbon, fustian or other fabric. It is a single-sentence definition with no technical detail.
