Weft Definition-Definitions for the Clothing & Fabric Industry. Weft Feeders Yarn Directory Yarn Definition Textile List Fashion Industry News Fashion Fabric Search. Weft is the term for the yarn which is shuttled back and forth across the warp to create a woven fabric. It can also be referred to as woof or fill. The weft is a thread or yarn of spun fibre. The original fibre was wool, flax or cotton. Nowadays man-made fibres are used in weaving. Because the weft does not have to be stretched in the way that the warp is, it can generally be less strong. The weft is threaded through the warp using a shuttle.
