Weaving
:''In computer science, weaving describes the process of combining different aspects into a complete application. See Aspect-oriented programming.''
Weaving is an ancient textile art and craft that involves placing two threads or yarn made of fibre onto a warp and weft of a loom and turning them into cloth. This cloth can be plain (in one color or a simple pattern), or it can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including tapestries.
The majority of commercial fabrics are woven on computer-controlled Jacquard looms. In the past, simpler fabrics were woven on other dobby looms and the Jacquard harness adaptation was reserved for more complex patterns. The efficiency of the Jacquard loom makes it more economical for mills to use them to weave all of their fabrics, regardless of the complexity of the design.
Fabric in which the warp and/or weft is tie-dyed before weaving is called ikat. Fabric decorated using a wax resist method is called batik.
Process
In general, weaving involves the interlacing of two sets of threads at right angles to each other: the warp and the weft. The warp's many threads are held taut and in parallel order by means of a loom. The weft thread crosses the warp in some over/under sequence. The nature of that sequence gives rise to many possible weave structures from the simplest plain weave, through twills and satins to complex computer-generated interlacing.
Both warp and weft can be visible in the final product. By spacing the warp more closely, it can completely cover the weft that binds it, giving a ''warpfaced'' textile. Conversely, if the warp is spread out, the weft can slide down and completely cover the warp, giving a ''weftfaced'' textile, such as a tapestry or a Kilim rug. There are a variety of loom styles for hand weaving and tapestry. In tapestry, the image is created by only placing weft in certain areas, rather than in the weave structure itself.
History
There are some indications
Weaving
This business of American Colonials preferring plain weave is simply not true.
Many different weave structures were woven in colonial America, from plain weave to a variety of twills, dimities, huck, diaper and huckaback as well as the more familiar overshot patterns. When professional weavers began to conduct business the complexity of locally produced fabrics expanded. But many home weavers throughout early American history wove more complex structures than plain weave.

This text requires some additions: weaving in other countries, more on the history of weaving (weaving and the Industrial Revolution etc), types of loom and weaving (backstrap, frame, rugs, carpets etc). I will add something.

Attention: Intro rewrite
There's been a couple of edits by Special:Contributions/User:194.222.59.249. The edits seem to be made in good faith but appear somewhat unencyclopedic, needing a major rewrite. Can some one watching this page look into that. -- Sundar 09:58, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Can someone explain what is "wire work" or make the right redirect? It seems to be a form of beadwork. Thanks. --Eleassar777 09:13, 14 May 2005 (UTC) P.S.: Please also include the disambiguation: Wire-work is also a hyper-active gun fighting that appears in the movies of the directors such as John Woo and Ringo Lam.
The Weave
In the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, The Weave is the fundamental force of arcane magic, from which spellcasters draw their strength. It is tended by the goddess Mystra. In recent times, the goddess Shar has created a rival Shadow Weave which she hopes will lure a number of evil spellcasters to her worship.

Hugo Weaving
Hugo Wallace Weaving (born April 4, 1960) is an Australian film and stage actor.
Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria to parents Wallace and Anne. After spending his childhood in South Africa and the UK, he arrived in Australia in 1976. After graduating from NIDA in 1981, Weaving's first major role was in the television series ''Bodyline'' in 1984.
Weaving starred in the Australian film ''The Dirtwater Dynasty'' in 1988 and later starred opposite Nicole Kidman in the 1989 film ''Bangkok Hilton''.
In 1991 Weaving received the Australian Film Institute's award for "Best Actor" for his performance in the low-budget ''Proof''. He also appeared as Sir John in the 1993 Yahoo Serious comedy, ''Reckless Kelly'', a lampoon of the famous Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. However, Weaving first received attention overseas with the international hit ''Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'' in 1994. In 1998, Weaving received the award for "Best Actor" from the Montreal Film Festival for his performance in ''The Interview''.
It was his role as the enigmatic Agent Smith in the 1999 blockbuster ''The Matrix'' which made Weaving a globally recognized face. Weaving reprised the role of Agent Smith in the 2003 sequels to ''The Matrix'', ''The Matrix Reloaded'' and ''The Matrix Revolutions''.
Weaving has continued his success in the role of the elf-lord Elrond in the three-film adaptation of ''The Lord of the Rings'' released between 2001 and 2003.

Thach Weave
The Thach Weave was an aerial combat tactic developed by naval aviator John S. Thach of the United States Navy during World War II. The maneuver was designed to defeat the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero which was superior to any US fighter at the time.
The Thach Weave is executed by two fighter aircraft in formation side by side. When the enemy aircraft chooses one of the two fighters as his target (the "bait" fighter) the two wingmen turn in toward one another and cross each others path.
After the fighters have separated in opposite directions in this manner they then commence a turn back toward one another which brings the enemy fighter into the gunsights of the "hook" fighter.
If the maneuver is executed correctly the enemy fighter has little chance of escape if he has followed the "bait" fighter through its turn.

Hair Weave
Hair weaves, are a form of hair extensions, are a hair style. They provide a realistic look that imitates an often expensive hairstyle. There are many types of materials used to make hair weaves. The price often depends on the type and quality of material used. There are many different types of "weaves". A few styles include French braids, single braids, micros, or dreadlocks.
Traditionally in North America they are most often worn by African Americans.
Weave fiber types
Synthetic hair
Synthetic hair is not real hair at all, but is made of a wide array of different synthetic fibers. Synthetic hair can also be used to create different styles by burning the tips of the fibers.
Yaki hair
Yaki hair can be worn hung loose at the ends and it has a shine to it that makes it look more like human hair.
Human hair
Human hair is the main hair type used for single braids and micros. Human hair extensions are often expensive.
Other
Hair extensions are not the only type of hair weaves available. Ponytails can also be attached to hair. The usual attachment technique uses pins and a string.
Tablet Weaving
thumb|300px|Experimental tablet weaving
Tablet Weaving is a process of weaving where tablets, also called 'cards', are used to create the shed the weft is passed through. It is generally used to make narrow work such as belts or straps.
The origins of this technique go back at least to the early Iron age. Examples have been found at Hochdorf, Germany and Apremont, France.
How to Do It
One of the best things about tablet weaving is that the equipment is cheap, and easy to get.
In the past, indigenous weavers used bark, split wood or plaited (mat, or basket-like) tablets. Commercial cardboard tablets are available with two, four (square) and seven (hexagonal) holes. Before commercial tablets were available, most weavers drilled a set of playing cards. This is still one of the easiest ways to get a sturdy set of plastic tablets, customized tablets, or large numbers of inexpensive tablets.
The basic idea is to turn the tablets to lift selected sets of threads in the warp. The tablets are not twisted continuously in one direction, but rather moved forward, then back by the same amount. Twisting the tablets often creates a ribbon that curls in the direction of the twist.
Traditionally, one end of the warp was tucked into, or wrapped around the weaver's belt, and the other is looped over a toe, or tied to a pole or furniture. Some traditional weavers weave between two poles, and wrap the weft around the poles. Commercial "tablet weaving looms" adapt this idea, and are convenient because they make it easy to put the work down.
Some modern weavers thread each card individually, but this is time consuming. The traditional threading method is to put all the threads through the holes of an entire deck. Then, starting at the pair of cards farthest from the bobbins, the threads are pulled from between each pair of cards out to the length of the warp, and hooked or tied on each end. If the cards remain "paired", so that alternate cards twist in opposite
