Définition
Une explication du sens précis de ce concept- In the low-warp loom, it has the rollers on the same level at table height so that the warps stretched between them are horizontal. To leave the weaver’s hands free, the warps are attached to two slats, or poles, each of which is connected with a treadle so that the weaver’s foot depresses the odd-numbered or even-numbered series of warps to form a passageway for the bobbin, called a shuttle on the low-warp loom. The cylinders in both instances serve to roll up the finished portion and unroll a further length of unwoven warps so that the section in process is always taut and in a convenient relation to the weaver. At both types of loom the weaver works from the back side, that is, he weaves the tapestry on the wrong side. He has, however, a hand mirror, which he puts through the unwoven warps holding it to reflect the right side of the portion in process. While the high-warp weaver can examine his finished work directly by walking around to the other side of his loom, the low-warp worker has to tilt up his frame.
