5.5 Warping:<br />
[Photograph 11: Warping]<br />
The master weaver carries out the process of warp making by using the various types of<br />
threads as per the design requirement. The warp machine used for silk thread is<br />
radically different from the one used in case of cotton thread. The warp machine is<br />
comprised of an octagonal metal cylindrical frame, which revolves vertically on the<br />
machine axis and a metallic rack on which the thread rolls are kept. The fibers from<br />
these rolls pass through hooks fixed on the rack onto a double metallic frame that<br />
moves up and down with the motion of the machine. The threads are wound on the<br />
cylinder in a criss-cross manner that facilitates the detection of breach in the fiber if any.<br />
This process starts from one end of the cylinder and goes on till the whole of the<br />
cylinder is covered with the thread. Once this has been achieved, the warp threads in<br />
the shape of bundles are taken to the loom where they are used as warp.<br />
