Summary
A profession that operates pile looms to produce pile fabrics with looped yarns woven in.
Description
Pile weavers are responsible for operating pile looms, performing warping, warp threading, and weft threading to weave in looped yarns, producing fabrics with the specified pile length and density. They ensure product uniformity through machine setup, tension adjustments, checks on pile length and density, and inspections of weave quality. In the event of machine troubles, they perform simple recovery operations or periodic maintenance to support stable production line operation.
Future Outlook
Demand may stabilize or decline due to overseas low-cost production and advances in automation, but it is expected in high-value-added specialty textiles and high-functionality materials.
