Warp Raised

Another way to refer to black cells in a drawdown. We use this term to highlight the relationship between cells in a drawdown and actions on a loom. Specifically, it tells us that a black cell is a location where the warp end is raised. This is in contrast to white cells, which describe locations where the “warp is lowered”.

This terminology becomes used when describing parameters within an AdaCAD operation. For instance, when describing a twill, you are asked to specify the number of warps raised and lowered on the first pic in order to describe the overall structure.
