The term "woven" refers to a fabric that is created by interlacing two sets of yarns or threads, usually in an over-and-under pattern. This process involves using a loom which has a series of harnesses and shafts that raise and lower the warp (lengthwise) and weft (widthwise) threads to create the design on the fabric. The resulting texture is smooth and uniform with a clear distinction between the two sets of yarns or threads, giving it strength and durability.
