Continental Loom

The Continental Loom is a type of textile weaving machine developed in the early 19th century, primarily in Europe. It revolutionized the textile industry by increasing the efficiency of fabric production. Unlike earlier looms, which required manual operation, the Continental Loom allowed for more complex patterns and faster weaving with less labor. It played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, helping to meet the growing demand for textiles in markets worldwide. Ultimately, it contributed to the shift from artisanal craft to mass production in the fabric industry.
