What is an Air Jet Loom? Learn How Your Hotel Bed Sheets and Towels are Made
As a hotelier, you understand the importance of providing your guests with high-quality bed sheets and towels. Have you ever wondered how these essential linens are produced? In this blog, we will explore the fascinating world of air jet looms, and the advanced machinery responsible for weaving the fabrics DZEE Textiles offers for your hotel use. By understanding the process behind their production, you can make informed decisions when selecting the best linens for your hotels.

The Basics of Air Jet Looms An air jet loom is a weaving machine used in the textile industry to produce woven fabrics. It operates by propelling weft yarns across the warp using compressed air. Unlike shuttle or rapier looms, which rely on physical contact with the weft yarn, air jet looms achieve high weaving speeds and efficiency through air-assisted weft insertion. Key Components Of Air Jet LoomsWeft Insertion SystemReed Shedding Mechanism

Weft Insertion System
The weft insertion system in an air jet loom consists of a pneumatic device that propels the weft yarn across the warp shed. 
Reed 
The reed is a comb-like component that beats up the inserted weft yarn to ensure proper interlacement with the warp yarn. 
Shedding Mechanism 
The shedding mechanism controls the movement of the warp yarns to create an opening (shed) for weft insertion. 
The Weaving Process 
Warp and Weft Yarns 
Warp yarns are the longitudinal yarns that run parallel to the selvage of the fabric, while weft yarns are the transverse yarns interlaced with the warp yarns. High-quality bed sheets and towels require carefully selected warp and weft yarns that possess desirable properties such as strength, softness, and absorbency. 
Shedding 
Shedding is the process of raising and lowering selected warp yarns to create an opening for the weft yarn to pass through during weft insertion. There are various shedding techniques used in air jet looms, including dobby shedding, which involves using a series of hooks and pegs to control the warp yarn movement, and Jacquard shedding, which utilizes a Jacquard mechanism to control each warp yarn individually. 
Weft Insertion 
During weft insertion, the shedding mechanism propels the weft yarn through the shed. In air jet looms, compressed air is used to propel the weft yarn across the warp. The air jet accelerates the weft yarn and is guided by various components, such as nozzles and reed, to achieve precise placement and interlacement with the warp yarn. 
Fabric Finishing 
Quality Control 
Stringent quality control measures are implemented throughout fabric production to ensure the linens meet the desired standards. Fabric density, color fastness, strength, and other parameters are carefully examined to maintain consistent quality. 
Post-weaving Processes 
After weaving, the fabric undergoes various post-weaving processes to enhance its appearance and characteristics. These processes may include bleaching to remove impurities, dyeing to add color, and printing to create patterns or designs on the fabric. 
Fabric inspection 
Fabric inspection is a crucial step to identify and rectify any defects or inconsistencies in the material before making bed sheets and towels. Trained inspectors examine the material for flaws, such as yarn irregularities, weaving faults, or printing errors, ensuring that only the highest quality fabric is used in the production of linens. 
Selecting the Right Linens for Your Hotels 
Understanding Fabric Specifications 
Thread Count
Thread count refers to the number of warp and weft yarns per square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts often indicate softer and more durable linens, but other factors, such as yarn quality and finishing processes, influence the overall quality. 
GSM (Grams per Square Meter) 
GSM measures the weight of the fabric per square meter. Higher GSM fabrics tend to be thicker, more absorbent, and offer a luxurious feel. 
Fabric Composition 
The choice of fabric composition, such as cotton, polyester, or a blend, affects the linens’ characteristics, including breathability, softness, and durability.
Considering Hotel Requirements 
Durability 
Hotel linens are subjected to frequent washing and heavy use. DZEE Textiles hotel bed sheets and towels are designed to withstand institutional laundering. With seven double-needle stitches per inch and ring-spun weaving, they offer exceptional durability and tear resistance. 
Absorbency 
Towels, in particular, should have high absorbency to provide a pleasant drying experience. Each DZEE Textiles hotel towel is manufactured using high-speed air-jet weaving technology with the finest ring-spun yarns, which makes them highly absorbent and comfortable for your guests.
Aesthetics 
The appearance of bed sheets and towels contributes to the overall impression of your hotel. Consider the color, pattern, and design options that match your branding and create a visually appealing ambiance.

Conclusion 
Understanding the intricate process of air jet loom weaving and the factors involved in fabric finishing empowers the decision makers of a hotel to make informed decisions when selecting bed sheets and towels for their hotels. By considering fabric specifications and hotel requirements, you can choose linens that meet the highest quality standards and align with your hotel’s branding. Investing in the right linens will enhance the guest experience, leaving a lasting impression of comfort and luxury on your guests.

It's over an hour past quiet hour in my apartment building and my downstairs neighbors are apparently having a party.
Oh well, guess I'll keep weaving this scarf until it's quiet.

hi hi, I’m completely out of my depth and looking for help from hand weavers on here please ?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have been blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime to have been able to purchase this well loved floor loom, a Leclerc Nilus Floor loom, with a weaving bench and this warp spinning thing too
Tumblr media
Now comes the part where I ask for desperate advice for a beginner’s understanding of this beautiful thing. I have bought many How To Weave books but I am completely and utterly lost on how to start. How to?? Get the string on there??? I’ve never woven before, only knit and spin. Should I have maybe gotten my feet wet with a little table loom instead? yeah probably but this thing? Irresistible. It’s in my room and lives here now.
Please help! It’s so beautiful and I love touching and want so desperately to use it and make something nice even if it’s just a messy beginner table runner or something !
(you can call me Zue, and I do not use any pronouns!)

:D
My first project is on the loom!
(First REAL project I mean! I did do a sample warp as as a “make sure everything is working/ yarns play nice together/ I was scared” kind of thing)
I am impressed that I pretty much completely remembered how to warp a loom but also some what dismayed at the minor tension issues. But I do think it’s because I’m using a silk scarf as a warp separator and not butcher paper like I “grew up with” at least on the sides. But also…..I’ve been watching a couple of warping vids and uhhhhhh y’all put so much effort in. Like with raddles and stuff I never learned with all that. Which has been somewhat detrimental to me because I feel like nicely spaced warp is better with the soft heddles but also I’ve never used soft heddles and also fully warping the loom and then running all onto the cloth beam and then back again has been working ok in terms of spacing, tho it may be contributing to my tension issues.
Also do y’all like my shuttle? It’s the pickup stick for my tapestry loom that I kinda wanna use but the pickup stick is the perfect length to weave with on this loom imo and the small business I wanna get a decently sized shuttle from is closed for the tax season so I gotta make do ❤️
