What is the purpose of a loom in textile production?

To dye fabric using chemicals
To interlace two sets of threads
To apply design patterns to fabric
To finish off woven textiles

The correct answer is: To interlace two sets of threads

The purpose of a loom in textile production is to interlace two sets of threads, known as the warp and weft, to create fabric. The loom provides the structure and mechanism necessary to hold the warp threads taut while allowing the weft threads to be woven through them. This fundamental process of interlacing threads is essential in the creation of various textile patterns and types of fabric. While dyeing, applying design patterns, and finishing textiles are all important aspects of textile production, they do not involve the primary function of a loom itself. The loom's specific role focuses on the weaving process rather than these other activities.
