Question

The ............... is the space between the two halves of the warp in which the weaver places the weft thread/yarn just after the reed while weaving on a loom.

• A. Beater
• B. Shed
• C. Lease Rods
• D. Heddle

Hint:

In weaving, remember: Heddles control warp threads, Reed beats the weft, and the Shed is where the weft is inserted.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify weaving parts.
- The \textit{reed} is a comb-like device used to beat the weft yarn into place.
- The \textit{heddles} control warp threads.
- The \textit{shed} is the temporary opening between warp threads.
Step 2: Role of the shed.
When alternate sets of warp yarns are raised or lowered, a gap forms between two layers of warp yarns. This gap is called the shed. The weaver passes the shuttle or weft yarn through this space.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the space where the weft is inserted is the Shed.
