Answer to Question 1

Weaving involves placing two sets of parallel fibers at right angles to each other and interlacing one set through the other. One set of fibers is held taut; this is called the warp. The other set, known as the weft or woof, is interwoven through the warp to make a textile.

Answer to Question 2

C
Islamic textiles are famous for their designs as illustrated by the Ardabil carpets, which are in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in England.
