  Loom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest looms were probably vertical warp-weighted looms, with the warp threads suspended from a branch or piece of wood and weighted or attached to the ground.
Looms used for weaving traditional tapestry are classified as haute lisse looms, where the weft is suspended vertically between two rolls, and the basse lisse looms, where the weft extends horizontally between the rolls.

Although loomed pieces are typically rectangular, it is possible to increase and decrease to produce angular or curvy shapes.
Bead looms vary in size and are typically made of wood or metal.
Some looms have roller bars that allow the weaver to produce pieces that are longer than the loom is. Most looms are meant to sit on a table, but some have floor stands or are meant to sit in the lap.

Loom was applied to the domain of computer image understanding in the VEIL project, an experiment that links a Loom-based domain model with geometric objects produced by an image understanding program.
The use of a Loom superstructure enables interaction with the image system at a higher-level of abstraction--discourse is at the level of domain concepts such as buildings, headquarters and events rather than pixels or cubes.

 loom - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Modern looms are of two types, those with a shuttle (the part that carries the weft through the shed) and those without; the latter draw the weft from a stationary supply.
Vertical looms, such as the Navajo and some tapestry looms, developed from the practice of hanging the warp beam from a tree and holding the yarns taut with stones, pegs, or a weighted pole.
In the foot loom the harnesses were operated by treadles, leaving the hands free to pass and catch the shuttle.

 Modern History Sourcebook: William Radcliffe: Power Looms, 1828
From 1789 to 1794, my chief business was the sale of muslin warps, sized and ready for the loom, (being the first who sold cotton twist in that state, chiefly to Mr Oldknow, the father of the muslin trade in our country.) Some warps I sent to Glasgow and Paisley.
In weaving no great alteration had taken place during these 18 years, save the introduction of the fly-shuttle, a change in the woollen looms to fustians and calico, and the linen nearly gone, except the few fabrics in which there was a mixture of cotton.
These families, up to the time I have been speaking of, whether as cottagers or small farmers, had supported themselves by the different occupations I have mentioned in spinning and manufacturing, as their progenitors from the earliest institutions of society had done before them.

 Modern History Sourcebook: Richard Guest: The Steam Loom, 1823
Before this invention the warp was dressed in the Loom in small portions as it unrolled from the beam, the Loom ceasing to work during the operation.
In Steam Looms, the lathe gives a steady, certain blow, and when once regulated by the engineer, moves with the greatest precision from the beginning to the end of the piece.
In the Steam Loom factories, the cotton is carded, roved, spun, and woven into cloth, and the same quantum of labour is now performed in one of these structures which formerly occupied the industry of an entire district.

The world encompassing Loom is based upon a land in which a series of Guilds flourish, each highly specialised in their particular skill.
The puzzles and challenges in Loom are logical and depend more on careful listening to decipher the four threads of each draft than lateral thinking.

 Loom - MobyGames
What sets Loom apart from other adventure games (in direct comparison with Sierra's) is its unique interface: you do not carry items around, but rather manipulate existing items through the use of spells.
Loom also features three difficultly levels, and differentiates them by changing the way the interface works: Standard features the distaff at the bottom of the screen but notes aren't written, whereas Expert doesn't have the distaff and you have to replay the spells by hearing alone.
Loom is the epitome of LucasArts creative talent, and storytelling mastery.
