Archeologists have discoveredpictures of the ancient Egyptian loom, and of Penelope's, and there isbut little change from the times of these ladies to our days. The fact is, the work is hand-work, must always be so, and the loom isbut a tool for its working, a tool which keeps in place the threadsset by hand. That is why tapestry must always be valuable and originaland no more possible to copy by machine than is a painting. High warp and low warp are the terms so often used as to seem ashibbole...th. _Haute lisse_ and _basse lisse_ are their Frenchequivalents. They describe the two kinds of looms, the formersignifying the loom which stands upright, or high; the latterindicating the loom which is extended horizontally or low. On the highloom, the instrument which holds the thread is called the _broche_, and on the low loom it is called the _flute_. The stitch produced by the two is the same. The manner of producingit varies in convenience to the operators, the low-warp being theeasier, or at least the more convenient and therefore the quickermethod.
