weaving
Quick Summary
Swivel weaving is a method of weaving that utilizes a loom equipped with a swivel mechanism. This technique is a type of inlaid weave, where pattern yarns are inserted between the ground warps or wefts to create designs. A mechanical process similar to hand brocading, swivel figuring employs mechanically controlled pattern shuttles to interlace these pattern yarns with the warp. This allows for the creation of figured fabrics with intricate patterns.123
