Fabric weaving involves interlacing warp and weft. The yarn threads of warp are arranged parallel to one another and held in tension on a loom, while the single thread wefts pass over or under the warp threads to create a solid or patterned piece of clothes. To create larger pieces, a treadle loom is usually needed.

画里面的treadle loom 写错了吗？
involve在unit4已经出现了
solid 在这里是不是应该指“单一的颜色”？我们在画画课上常用到这个词。而且和patterned 相对，也应该说的是“单一的，固定的，连续的（颜色）”。如果不对请指教
