Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Velvet Weaver is an occupation that manufactures velvet fabric (pile fabric) using a loom, performing quality control and machine adjustments.
Description
Velvet Weavers are specialists who manufacture velvet, a type of pile fabric, using looms. The process starts with warping the warp yarns and preparing the weft yarns, followed by setting up the loom and adjusting tension while weaving continuously. The finished fabric undergoes shearing (according to the pile length and density) and washing. In the production line, they maintain manufacturing efficiency while detecting minute weaving irregularities or pile defects, and perform machine adjustments and process improvements as needed.
Future Outlook
While domestic textile manufacturing continues to shrink due to overseas relocation, demand for skilled weavers persists in niche areas such as high-functionality and luxury velvet markets.
