Traditional Pit Loom weaving is a type of loom fit in a pit where the fabrics are produced with the use of pedals. It is stronger than handloom and can be done without using latex. It got that name because it has the pit below the loom, which is further used for shedding. There is a gap between both layers which is called as a shed. The shed is produced with the help of a harness. Even the warps are maintained in the tension between two levers. Later on, wefts are inserted inside the shed. Wrap threads are divided into two layers for the passage of shuttle. In total, it is considered as better weaving as it absorbs the tension and breathability.
