===Tapestry looms=== {{main|tapestry}} [[File:Tapestry Loom-colored.svg|thumb|upright|Medieval European ''haute-lisse'' tapestry loom. Oddly, while many dangling bobbins are shown, the different colours are not.]] Tapestry can have extremely complex wefts, as different strands of wefts of different colours are used to form the pattern. Speed is lower, and shedding and picking devices may be simpler. Looms used for weaving traditional [[tapestry]] are called not as "vertical-warp" and "horizontal-warp", but as "high-warp" or "low-warp" (the French terms ''[[Warp (weaving)|haute-lisse]]'' and {{transliteration|fr|basse-lisse}} are also used in English).<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bas-lisse and the other 3 entries</ref> <gallery mode="packed"> File:Rea-Menzies in studio.jpg|Haut-lisse tapestry loom, 2022, New Zealand File:Loom haute lisse DSC08774.jpg|Commercial haut-lisse tapestry loom, 2004 File:Loom basse lisse DSC08828.jpg|A commercial basse-lisse tapestry loom in the same factory, 2004 File:Principaux outils de la tapisserie de basse lisse sur le métier à tisser (flûtes, grattoir, peigne, poinçon).jpg|Tapestry tools, on the loom.
