| Plain |
|
In the plain weave the woof thread runs under and over the warp, and the warp threads run over and under the next woof threads.
While the plain weave does not produce the strongest cloth most
material is made this way as it is the least costly,...

| Basket |
|
Textile Manufacturing Process |
In order to produce this effect, this cloth
cannot be woven tightly. It leaves the threads quite loose—they pull
away easily, permitting holes in the material, and the fabric does not
wear as well as tighter, closer weave. However, this type of...

| Pile | Textile Manufacturing Process |
The most commonly used materials in the pile weave are velvet and
plush. Corduroy and velveteen are other examples. This material is
woven in looms which at intervals push up the warp threads together
into loops so that they are standing upright. On...

| Cross Weave |
In this type of weave, extra warp threads are added to the regular
plain weave and they are pulled from one side to the other. The purpose
of these extra threads is to add strength to the material, and yet
retain its lightness. The simplest...

| Lappet |
|
This is a very interesting type of weave. By means of a small
mechanical device on the loom, dots or figures are woven into the
material. These designs are stitched into the warp of the cloth and can
be made to resemble embroidery. This Lappett...

| Twill |
|
Where durability and strength are desired, the twill weave is
employed. Materials woven in this type are only next in importance to
the plain weave materials. To make the twill weave, many
threads are used and woven in such a way that a diagonal...

| Satin |
|
Satin Weave has more threads on the surface than any other weave.
It is used in fabrics of high lustre. Because the threads are packed
together and entwined irregularly, the surface appears smooth and
reflects the light to the best advantage. It
is...

| Figure |
|
The most important figure weave is damask. The pattern in a genuine
damask is reversible. On the right side the background has a satin

| Pique |
|
Textile Manufacturing Process |
Piqué refers to a weaving style, as in “piqué cotton,” which is characterized by raised parallel cords or fine ribbing (for example, in the collar of a polo shirt or tennis shirt). Twilled cotton and corded cotton are close relatives. The weave is...

| Oxford | Textile Manufacturing Process |
Oxford is a type of woven fabric, employed to make the fabric in oxford shirt. The warp has two fine yarns paired together. The weft has one heavier, softly spun fill yarn, which gives the fabric a very subtle basketweave look with a silk-like &...

| Waterproof fabric | Textile Manufacturing Process |
Waterproof fabrics are usually natural or synthetic fabrics that are laminated to or coated in some sort of permanently waterproof material, such as rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), silicone elastomer, and wax. Examples include...

| Even-weave |
|
Textile Manufacturing Process |
Even-weave fabric or canvas is any woven textile where the warp and weft thread are of the same size.
Even-weave fabrics are typically required as foundations for counted-thread embroidery styles such as cross-stitch, needlepoint, and blackwork so...

| Nonwovens | Textile Manufacturing Process |
Nonwovens are textile which are neither woven nor knit, such as felt. General use hyphenates the word, but industrial use spells it as one word. Non-wovens are typically not strong (unless reinforced by a backing or densified). In recent years, non...

| Jacquard weaving |
Jacquard weaving makes possible in almost any loom the programmed raising of each warp thread independently of the others. This brings much greater versatility to the weaving process, and offers the highest level of warp yarn control. This mechanism...

| Knitted fabric | Textile Manufacturing Process |
Knitted fabrics are the third major class of fabric, after woven and nonwoven fabrics.
Compared to the other two classes, knitted fabrics are much more elastic, which accounts for their historical use in stocking and other clothing that requires...

| Warp knitting |
|
Textile Manufacturing Process |
Warp knitting is a family of knitting methods in which the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, i.e., following adjacent columns ("wales") of knitting, rather than a single row ("course"). For comparison, knitting across the width of the...

| Satin weave |
|
Textile Manufacturing Process |
Satin weave is one of the three important textile weaves. (The other two are Plain weave and Twill weave.) The satin weave is distinguished by its lustrous appearance, its 'silkiness' or its 'satin' feel. Satin itself is not a type of fabric, and...
