Ukunitha bubugcisa obusebenzisa iinaliti zokunitha kunye nabanye oomatshini bokwenza iluphu ukugoba imisonto ibe ngamarhintyela baze bawadibanise omnye komnye ukwenza amalaphu.Ngokweempawu ezahlukeneyo zobuchwephesha, ukunitha kwahlulwe kwaba kukunitha kwe-weft kunye nokunitha kwe-warp.

Ekunitheni kwe weft, umsonto ufakwa kwinaliti ecaleni kwendlela yokuluka ukwenza ilaphu elilukiweyo elilukiweyo.Ekunitheni i-warp, umsonto ubekwa phezu kwenaliti ecaleni kwephedi yokujika ukwenza ilaphu elinithiweyo.

Ukunitha kwale mihla kwavela ekunitheni ngesandla.Ilaphu lokuqala elithungelwe ngesandla elafunyanwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku linokulandelelwa emva kwiminyaka engama-2,200 eyadlulayo.Lilaphu lejacquard elinemibala ephindwe kabini elafunyanwa kwiNgcwaba leXesha laMazwe alwayo eMashan, eJiangling, eTshayina ngo-1982. Ezona mpahla zithuthiweyo zafunyanwa phesheya ziikawusi zabantwana zoboya kunye neeglavu zomqhaphu ezivela kwingcwaba laseYiputa, ekukholelwa ukuba zinjalo. yaqala ngenkulungwane yesihlanu.Ngowe-1589, uWilliam Lee, indoda eliNgesi, wayila umatshini wokuqala wokunitha, owaqalisa ixesha lokunitha koomatshini.Ishishini lokunitha laseTshayina laqala emva kwexesha, ngo-1896 eShanghai lavela umzi-mveliso wokunitha wokuqala, kumashumi eminyaka akutshanje, ishishini lokunitha laseTshayina liye laphuhliswa ngokutsiba kunye nemida, libe yinkwenkwezi ekhulayo kushishino lwempahla olulukiweyo, emva kowama-2006, imveliso yokunitha yaseTshayina igqithe iimpahla ezilukiweyo. .Ukunitha ukunitha kuneengenelo zenkqubo emfutshane, ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso, ingxolo encinci yomatshini kunye nendawo yokusebenza, ukusetyenziswa kwamandla okuncinci, ukuguquguquka okunamandla kwezinto ezikrwada, utshintsho olukhawulezayo lokutshintsha, njl. kumatshini wokunitha we-warp kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ilaphu le-tulle kunye nelaphu le-mesh liye lavela ngaphambili, longeza umbala omningi kwifashoni yempahla, ngakumbi kwiimpahla zabasetyhini kunye nabantwana.Inkqubo yemveliso yefektri yokunitha iyahluka ngokweemveliso ezahlukeneyo ezishiywe ngumzi-mveliso.Uninzi lwefektri yokunitha imveliso yeemveliso zempahla, kwaye inkqubo yayo ilandelayo: Umsonto okrwada ungene kumzi-mveliso - ukujika/uqonde ngqo kumatshini wokuluka - ukuluka - ukudaya nokugqiba - izambatho.

Ezinye iifektri zivelisa kuphela ilaphu elingenanto, hayi ukudaya nokugqiba, okanye inkqubo yempahla.Kwaye abanye babavelisi belaphu lokuhombisa kunye nemizi-mveliso yelaphu akukho nkqubo yokusebenza kwempahla, ilitye lokuluka elilukiweyo, intambo ephothiweyo ihlala ihamba ngenkqubo yokujija kuqala., kodwa uninzi lwemisonto yefilamenti yemichiza inokusetyenzwa ngokuthe ngqo ngumatshini. Umsonto osisiseko udla ngokuhamba kwinkqubo yokujija phambi kokulukwa komatshini.Ukunitha ukunitha akunakuvelisa kuphela ilaphu elingenanto, kwaye emva koko kusikwe kwaye kuthungelwe kwiimveliso zokunitha, kodwa kunokuvelisa iimveliso eziqingqiweyo kunye nezenziwe ngokupheleleyo, ezinjengeekawusi.Iiglavu, iijezi zoboya, njl.Iimveliso ezinithiweyo azisetyenziswanga kuphela kwintsimi yeempahla zokugqoka, kodwa zisetyenziselwa ngokubanzi kwintsimi yokuhlobisa.Ukuba i-warp ukunitha amalaphu e-tulle aphakathi, amalaphu e-mesh enomnatha, sebenzisa kwisihombiso sazo zonke iintlobo zamaqela, ukusetyenziswa kwezinto zokudlala, ilaphu letafile, i-brooch njalo njalo.
