Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Andean textiles, still made today with the back strap loom, originated thousands of years ago with the same back strap loom process. It consists of two sticks or bars between which the warps are stretched. One bar is attached to a fixed object and the other to the weaver, usually by means of a strap around the back.

Detailed explanation-2: -A loom is any machine or device that holds the threads and helps you weave them. You stretch out one set of threads, the “warp”, parallel on the loom. Another thread, the “weft”, goes over and under the warp threads, back and forth, again and again, to create the woven fabric.

Detailed explanation-3: -The earliest looms date from the 5th millennium bc and consisted of bars or beams fixed in place to form a frame to hold a number of parallel threads in two sets, alternating with each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Looms are the devices that are used for making yarn to fabric. There are two types of looms: handlooms and power loom. A loom that is operated by hand is called a handloom, and a loom that works on electric power is called a power loom. The process of converting the yarn to fabric is known as weaving.

Detailed explanation-5: -A textile is a flexible material composed of a network of natural or artificial fibers often referred to as thread or yarn. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, braiding, knotting, or pressing fibers together. In addition, the fibers themselves may be referred to as textiles.
