A loom is a device used to weave cloth. The basic purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the basic function is the same.
The word "loom" comes from the Old English "geloma" formed from ge-(perfective prefix) and loma, a root of unknown origin; this meant utensil or tool of any kind. In 1404 it was used to mean a machine to enable weaving thread into cloth. By 1838 it had gained the meaning of a machine for interlacing thread as in weaving, knitting or lacemaking.
Weaving is done by intersecting the longitudinal threads, the warp, i.e. "that which is thrown across", with the transverse threads, the weft, i.e. "that which is woven".
The major components of the loom are the warp beam, heddles, harnesses or shafts (as few as two, four is common, sixteen not unheard of), shuttle, reed and takeup roll. In the loom, yarn processing includes shedding, picking, battening and taking-up operations. These are the principal motions.

Genres: Drama,You always got those dark sunglasses
Covering half your face
But if you promise to take them off
Promise I won't squander your gaze
I will be picturesque, I will be nice
I won't do anything, you can't tell your own wife
I will think before I act, I will think twice
Just let me see your eyes
Each time we've spoke and put in our tokens, ridden the tilt-a-whirl
And I was giggling and dizzy, flirting like a 12 year old girl
The carnival of you and me was coming to town
Watch how we spin and spin and then fall down
Now we just say hello and head for firmer ground
You are the one-way glass that watches me
Standing in line at the bank
I always looks into your glasses
Like a cat looks into a fish tank
But all I could ever see was the specter of me reflected
I want a monument of a friendship
That we never had erected
I wanted to take up lots of room, I wanted to loom
You always got those dark sunglasses
Between us when we talk, yeah
But after the party is over if you wanna take a walk
We could just look around, not do nothing wrong
Try to be at least as brave as our songs
I will bring my heart, I will bring my face
