Weaver, Hand

Weaves sections of loom-woven belting to finish them or join them to form endless belts: Ties selvages together to secure belts. Inspects belting and removes loose filling threads. Draws warp threads over and under filling threads, using hook. Cuts warp threads to specified length, using tape measure and shears, and ties or laps warp threads together to join belts. Counts number of filling and warp threads per square inch and draws new filling and warp threads through belting to maintain specified weave pattern and to finish belting. May use hurdle fork to move filling threads close together when weaving narrow belting.
