Industry | A type of frame or creel for carrying the warps and their tensioning devices. It is situated behind the loom in an upright position and occupies the full width of the loom frame. It is usually divided into vertical sections by wood or metal struts so as to give the same number of sections as there are reed spaces in the loom. The warps are placed in the cratch and rotate on spindles. Source: European Union. (references) |
