Weaving- the interlocking of wrap and weft threads
on a loom.
Types
of weaving
1. Plain/
even weave- it is made by alternately interlocking wrap and weft yarns in an
over 1 under 1 pattern throughout the entire width of the fabric.
Examples of fabric made by the
plain weaving method: Calico, cheese cloth, gingham, polyester cotton, 100%
polyester (tetrex).
2. Twill
weave fabrics have diagonal ridges across the surface of the fabric.
Characteristics of Twill weave
Fabrics
1. Diagonal
ridges across the surface of the fabric.
2. Have
obvious right and wrong side.
3. Fabrics
are strong and softer than plain weave fabric.
4. Fabrics
crease less than plain weave fabric and do not soil easily, but are difficult
to clean.
5. Fabrics
become shinny when worn frequently.
6. Fabrics
stretch and drape well, due to the open structure created by the construction
but lose shape easily.
