Lets Break Down the Weaving Process

Sferra is always about keeping their customers informed. Recently they sent out a breakdown of the weaving process, and who better to pass this information onto than YOU!

In the weaving process, the selvage (or selvedge) is the self-finished edge. Selvages keep the fabric from unraveling or fraying. The warp yarns are those running lengthwise or vertically, parallel to the selvage. They run the entire length of the fabric. The weft are those running widthwise or horizontally, perpendicular to the selvage. They loop back at the end of each row. 

Below is an image illustrating the selvage, warp and weft.
