This is a derivative of twill weave. Diamond design is developed on the basis of pointed draft principle. It is build-up by the combination of vertical and horizontal zig-zag weave. The repeat size of this design is also calculated from the regular or base twill design. In this case the number of both warp and weft yarns[…]
Definition of Basket Weave The Basket weave is also known as Hopsack and Matt Weave. The Hopsack weave, a variation of the plain weave, uses two or more warp and two or more weft yarns side by side as one yarn. The resultant cloth is relatively loose in the weave. The hopsack weave is obtained[…]
Definition Double cloths are fabrics in which there are at least two series of warp and weft threads each of which is engaged primarily in producing its own layer of cloth, thus forming a separate face cloth and a separate back cloth. The two layers may be only loosely connected together in which case each may be[…]
The weave shows the interlacing pattern of warp and weft. Each weave consists of the following parts or fields. Contact Fields These are the contact points between warp and weft crossing at right angle. The number of contact fields always equals the product of the number of warp and weft threads. Contact field = RNwa X[…]
The term is applied to weaves which resemble honeycomb cells. The cellular formations appear square in the cloth. They are formed by some ends and picks interlacing tighter than others and therefore developing a higher tension. Usually, single cloths are made by progressively lengthening and shortening both warp and weft floats to form ridges and[…]
Huck a Back Weave The huck a back weaves are basically toweling fabrics. They are generally associated with honey comb fabrics and hence known as honey comb effects. They are constructed by alternately combining a floating with a plain weave. Interestingly, a number of weaves are derived from these weaves. Huck a back weaves are[…]
