Weaving

Weaving is the process of interlacing two sets of yarns to create fabric using a loom. In weaving, the lengthwise yarns are called the warp and the crosswise yarns are called the weft or filling. There are three basic types of weaves - plain, twill, and satin - which are differentiated by how the warp and weft yarns are interlaced. Specific fabrics are produced depending on factors like the weave structure and the materials used. The document then provides definitions and examples of plain, twill, and satin weaves.

WEAVING

>Weaving is a production of fabric by interlacing two


sets of yarns so that they cross each other,normally at
right angles,usually accomplished with a hand-or-
power-operated LOOM.

>In weavings lengthwise yarns are called warp


crosswise yarns are called weft,or filling.Most woven
fabrics are made up with their outer edges finished in a
manner that avoid raveling; these are called "selvages".
They run lengthwise, parallel to the warp yarns. The
three basic weavs are plain , twill, and satin. Fancy
weavs -such as pile, Jacquard, dobby , and leno- require
more complicated looms of special loom attachments
for their construction.
>The manner in which the yarns are interlaced determines
the type of weave. The yarn count and number of warp and
filling yarns to the square inch determine the closeness or
looseness of a weave. Woven fabrics may also be varied by
the proportion of warp yarns to filling yarns. Some effects
are achieved by the selection of yarns or combination of
yarns.

THREE TYPES OF WEAVES AND THEIR DEFINITIONS:


1.Plain weave- each filling yarns passes over and under the
warp yarns, with the order reversed in alternating rows.
Fabrics made in the plain weave include percale, muslin and
taffeta. Ribbed effects in such fabrics as faille and bengaline
are produced by employing heavier yarns for either the warp
or the filling. In the basket weave one or more filling yarns
are paased alternately over and under two or more warp
yarns, as seen in monk's cloth.
2.Twill Weave-are made by interlacing the yarns in a
manner producing diagonal ribs, ridges, or wales across
the fabric. Wales may run from the upper right to the
lower left of the fabric, or the reverse. The herringbone
weaves has wales running both ways. Twill fabrics
include denim, gabardine, and flannel.

3. Satin Weave- have a sheen produced by exposing


more warp than fillings on the right side of the fabric.
The exposed warps are called floats. The process is
reversed,and the exposed fillings from the floats. The
amount of twist in the yarns and the length of the floats
produce variations. Fabrics made in these weaves
include slipper satin, satin crepe, and various sateen
types.
