What is the function of the warp in weaving?

  1. A horizontal set of threads

  2. A tool used for weaving

  3. A series of vertical threads

  4. A method of dyeing fabric

The correct answer is: A series of vertical threads

The warp in weaving refers to the series of vertical threads that are held in tension on a loom. These threads create the backbone of the fabric and provide structure, allowing the weft (the horizontal threads) to be woven through them. The warp is essential for the weaving process because it establishes the fabric's length and provides the framework for the interlacing of the weft threads. In contrast to other options: the horizontal threads would be referred to as the weft, a tool used for weaving is a separate item like a shuttle or loom, and dyeing fabric is a different process entirely from weaving. Understanding the role of the warp helps in comprehending the fundamentals of textile construction and the dynamics of the weaving process.
