Abstract
This study is informed by the need to sustain weaving craft in Nigeria as a means of attaining the following: the much desired socio-economic and cultural growth; selfreliant development and rural Industrialization; and the development and preservation of our cultural heritage. Evidently, it has concentrated on the following: fabrication of a modified, relatively inexpensive table-loom, using local materials and resources; conducting experimental weaving on the said loom, using conventional, factory made yarns, self-dyed if need be; and utilizing the resultant fabric in developing certain products. There was the need to address the problem from both theoretical and practical perspective. In order to provide a theoretical frame-work for this study, available related literature were consulted and synthesized to broaden the researcher's horizon in the following areas: historical evidence of weaving; evolution of the loom; types of looms and their structure; weaving processes and techniques; and raw material for weaving.
