iv) Pit Looms: Pit Handloom: These are the looms which have been used for weaving since ancient times. In these looms, the heavy wooden loom is installed inside a pit, which is about three feet deep. The weaver has to sit on the wall of this pit, with his legs in the pit. These looms are permanently installed in these pits and are hardly moved from their place in many years. v) Jacquard: For fine and complicated designs, the jacquard card technique is generally used in which the pattern is punched on to a long roll of paper (cards), which turns as each line of weft gets completed. The treadles press against the pricked holes in the pattern card and push down the required needles. vi) Frame Loom: (Snap: 07120009: Frame Handloom) These looms are the newer ones, which have lightweight metal frames that constitute the main body of the loom. These looms were introduced recently because of heir superior performance, now a large number of weavers have adopted them. They are lightweight thus requiring less effort to handle. These are fixed by using nuts and bolts, are easily detachable and therefore can be shifted for rearrangement etc. They have a pulley arrangement that gives better finishing. 4.2 Charkha
[Photograph 6: Charkha] A charkha is used for making the rolls of the yarn. In case of warp, it is a big motorized one, which prepares big rolls of yarn. [Photograph 7: Weft] In case of weft, the charkha is the smaller wooden one, which prepares thin rolls called bobbins to be put inside the shuttle to form weft. 4.3 Dyeing apparatus 4.4 Treadles
