Answer 1

Hint: We know that weaving is the process of production of fabric. In this process, two separate threads or yarns intertwined to result in a fabric. A loom is generally used for this process which is a device that holds the threads that are wrapped in a place while the weft is woven through them.

Complete step by step answer: Let’s first understand the two terms namely, fibre and fabric.

A very thin thread like strands which are used to make cloth is termed as fibre. Some examples of fibres are wool, silk, jute, cotton etc.

A flexible material which is the result of a network of natural or artificial fibres is termed as fabric or cloth.

Now, come to the question. People who do the work of weaving clothes are termed as weavers. They make fabric by weaving fabrics.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Additional information: Two methods are used for weaving of fabrics. They are, lengthwise weaving and crosswise weaving.
In length wise weaving, the weaving of yarn is done up and down or longitudinal or lengthwise in the body of clothing.
In crosswise weaving, the weaving of fabric is done across the body of the clothing. It is also known as filling or weft of yarns.


Note: Knitting is another process of making fabrics. In this process, yarns are interlocked top form fabric. This is the second most important method of production of fabric. It is done by machines or by hand. Socks and many other clothing items are produced by this process.
