Detail

Hand weaving requires a good knowledge of the characteristics of textile materials, as well as great patience and concentration during work. However, despite this attention, errors are still present during the weaving process due to incorrect formation of warp threads, especially in more complex embroidery. Therefore, an electromechanical device controlled by a computer was designed and installed in the construction of a hand loom.
