"Warp woof" are two terms associated with the process of weaving fabric. The warp refers to the longitudinal threads, while the woof (also called weft) refers to the transverse threads. There are several synonyms for these terms, depending on the region and industry. In the textile industry, warp may be referred to as the "end", whereas woof may be known as the "pick". The terms "chain" and "shoot" are also used to describe the warp and woof, respectively. In the fashion industry, the warp and woof are often referred to simply as the "lengthwise" and "crosswise" threads. Regardless of the terminology used, a skilled weaver understands the importance of both the warp and woof in creating a quality textile.
