Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Scarf weavers operate looms using wool yarn or chemical fibers to produce scarves in a manufacturing role. They handle everything consistently from yarn preparation, weaving, quality inspection, to finishing processes.
Description
Scarf weavers set warp yarns (warp) and weft yarns (weft) on dedicated scarf looms in textile factories, adjust the machine according to fabric patterns and density, and weave scarves. They perform yarn replacement, tension adjustment, weave pattern inspection, removal of defects such as skips or yarn breaks, and in some cases, handle finishing processes like washing and pressing. Additionally, they conduct equipment inspections and simple maintenance to improve production efficiency and quality.
Future Outlook
Demand is declining due to the overseas shift in domestic apparel production and advances in automation technology. However, craftsmanship is valued in high-value-added products and custom-made markets, with skill succession and integration with digital textile technology being key.
