The Loom is used to turn threads- pig tail thread, rope reed thread, and (giant/phantom) spider silk thread- into cloth. The command to collect spider silk thread is also set here.

The Loom's functions are automated and any weavers will automatically collect spider webs (if any exist in your map) and weave thread into cloth (again, if you have any). You can change this behavior in the "set workshop orders" submenu of the orders menu.
