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.
