Wefts are the yarns that run horizontally on the loom over and under each successive vertical warp. Wefts may be made of entirely wool, cotton, or silk, or some combination thereof, and they may be plied or unplied. The wefts may then be compressed vertically with a weaver's comb to cover the warps entirely, producing a simple 'weft-faced tapestry' or kilim. Alternatively, the weaver may repeatedly introduce a row of looped 'knots' in between several passes of wefting which can then be uniformly clipped to produce pile.
