Loom: what holds your strings while you weave. Can be any size or material. Cardboard, wooden frames, sticks.
Warp: the vertical strings on your loom. These are the strings the you go over and under while weaving.
Weft: the strings that you weave under and over the warp threads. These create the colors, patterns and textures of your weaving.
