Identification of Right and Wrong Side
1. Woven Fabric
Weaving is the art of interlacing warp and weft at right angle
direction. This compact construction creates a strong fabric. In order to
identify the right side of the fabric, the design on the woven fabric should be
observed. When the floats of a design are less and the motif is clear it is the
front side of the woven fabric. Contrastingly, when the motif is of dull shade
or more floats (loose unwoven threads) are seen on the surface that is the back
side of the fabric. This is a very typical case of a jacquard fabric.
2. Knitted Fabric
When the fabric has loopy structure, and is extremely stretchy
they are made by means of knitting. The looped structured of the knitting
creates a very good drape like that of socks and warm feeling like the
innerwear and sweater. The sample can be termed as knitted, when the closer
view of the material reveals loop like structures. Examples are baniyan, panty,
slip, sweater and jerkin.
