Description/Purpose of the Warp Beam

A warp is required before weaving can start and warps are threads which pass lengthwise through the loom where the weft thread is interwoven. A warp is made by winding a silk yarn on to bobbins through winding frames and after the winding process is complete, these bobbins are placed on to the creel. Then the yarn is threaded from the bobbins through three reeds and the threads are wound on to the warping mill in sections and the pattern is then created. The warping mill then winds the threads off and on to a warp beam placed at the back. This beam is able to then be placed onto a beam trolley which is then lowered to the weaving shed placed on the ground floor. This can then be placed into one of the twelve power looms within the mill.
