Weave Structures

WEAVE STRUCTURES

The interlacing of warp and weft yarns to make woven structure is divided into different groups based upon the interlacing as basic weaves and fancy or surface figured weaves. Basic weaves are a group of weaves which are formed with interlacing of the yarns at right angles only to form a square pattern (Figure 5.13). Fancy weaves are weaves which form decorative patterns by the use of extra warp or weft yarns. Basic and fancy weaves are further classified base upon the type of interlacement and yarns used.

Details of different type of woven fabrics (Figure 5.14) are presented below
