In this study weaving capability of a prototype sampling loom with having computer-controlled shedding,weaving design and patterning is investigated. first,preparation stage of prototype sampling loom with the selected weave types before weaving process is investigated comparing with the semi-automated punched-card sampling loom. to evaluate the weaving capability of the improved prototype loom samples were woven in selected weave types with weft yarns in three different yarn counts. the results of weaving periods and structural characteristics of the samples were investigated in terms of weave type and weft yarn count.
