What 13.120 includes

• This subclass encompasses the production of fabrics called "woven fabrics," for which looms, generally shuttle looms, are used. Woven fabrics are characterized by combining two yarn weaving systems: the warp (spun vertically) and the weft (spun horizontally). Different combinations of these two systems create the various types of weaves that define the fabrics.
