The loom (2021)

The loom is a manual weaving machine , more common in earlier times. It was widely used during the pre-industrial era and later mainly in rural areas, in the household economy of which it played a key role, as it was the main means of weaving and textiles . After the Industrial Revolution, the classic, wooden, muscular loom was replaced by the mechanical loom. Today it is almost abolished, as the weaving process has been mechanized and the weaving machine is used in place of the loom.. The wooden loom is found today only in a few houses in remote areas and in folk art museums.
