warp yarns

Warp yarns are the set of yarns that run lengthwise in woven fabric, aligned parallel to the fabric's edge. They are the foundational threads on a loom, stretched tightly to create a stable framework. During weaving, weft yarns are woven across the warp yarns to form the fabric. Warp yarns are typically stronger and more durable because they bear the tension during weaving and use. Their precise, parallel arrangement provides the structure and support necessary to produce a uniform and stable textile, making them essential for the fabric's overall strength and shape.
