This repeats until the whole fabric is done. Plain weave can be recognised by its checkerboard effect. This is usually a balanced weave which means that yarns of the same weight, not necessarily the same yarns are used for both the warp and weft, creating a fabric with a uniform appearance and the same properties in the warp and weft yarns. Plain weave can be woven with different colours to create colour woven fabrics, such as striped fabrics and they can be printed or have other finishes applied to them.
Plain weave fabrics can be anything form heavyweight to sheer, depending on the types of yarns used and the tightness of the weave. All of these fabrics are very different in terms of weight and appearance but are all made using the same weave. The plain weave may be modified by extending it warp or weft way or both. The extension of the plain weave thus produces a rib effect.
A warp rib results from extending the plain weave in the warp direction and a weft rib structure results from extending the plain weave in the weft direction.
A matt rib results from extending the plain weave in both directions. These are produced by extending the plain weave in warp wary direction. The figure shows the warp rib weaves constructed on the regular and irregular basis. At A, B and C have seen regular warp rib weaves and at D, is shown the irregular warp rib weave.
E and F show the interlacing of D and A respectively. These are constructed by extending the plain weave in the weft direction in both the warp and weft rib weaves, the appearance of the cloth depends on the respective thread settings, and to achieve good effects, it is necessary to weave a weft rib with a high number of picks per inch and a comparatively low number of ends per inch.
Similarly, the warp rib effect can be enhanced with a high number of ends per inch and a comparatively low number of picks per inch. The prominence of the rib can be increased by suitable use of coarse and fine yarns. The dependence of all rib constructions upon the correct thread settings is marked. Rib weaves are used in gross grain cloths, matelasse fabrics, repp cloth which is extensively employed for window blinds in railway carriages and other vehicles, upholstering furniture, and cambric pocket handkerchief.
These weaves are also variously known as hopsack or basket weaves. The matt rib structures result from extending the plain weave in both directions. In case of regular matt weave, the plain weaves are extended equally in the warp and weft directions, whereas in case of irregular matt weaves, the plain weave is extended unevenly or irregularly in the warp and weft directions.
Matt weave finds extensive uses for a great variety of fabrics such as dress materials, shirting, sailcloth, duck cloth etc. Drafting Plans in weaving. Zipper — fasteners on garments.

And the different design and effect is produced on the fabric with the help for various mechanism which is helpful to from different weaves and lots of design which enhances the look of apparels.
The present paper was aimed at investigating the different types of weaves and also overview the fabrics come under the different weave categories. Most simple and most common type of construction Inexpensive to produce, durable, Flat, tight surface is conducive to printing and other finishes. The simplest of all patterns is the plain weave. Each weft yarn goes alternately over and under one warp yarn. Each warp yarn goes alternately over and under each weft yarn.
Some examples of plain weave fabrics are crepe, taffeta, organdy and muslin. The plain weave may also have variations including the following:. Method of Construction : Each filling yarn goes alternately under and over the warp yarns. Household Uses : Draperies, tablecloths, upholstery. Different types of Fabric Come under this Category:. A variation of the plain weave usually basket or checkerboard pattern Contrasting colors are often used Inexpensive, less durable than plain weave.
Basket weave is the amplification in height and width of plain weave. Two or more yarns have to be lifted or lowered over or under two or more picks for each plain weave point. When the groups of yarns are equal, the basket weave is termed regular, otherwise it is termed irregular. There two types of weave come under this category i. This is why only basket weaves , and exist.
Method of Construction: Two or more warps simultaneously interlaced with one or more fillings. Household Uses : Wall hangings, pillows. Example of Basket weave:. Method of Construction: Three or more shafts; warp or filling floats over two or more counterpart yarns in progressive steps right or left. Household Uses: Upholstery, comforters, pillows. Types of Fabrics :. Generally warp yarn is dyed brown or blue and crossed with white weft. Here cotton weft is yarn dyed but the wool warp may be dyed in piece.
Examples of Fabric:. Jacquard patterns, when carefully analyzed, may be seen to contain combinations of plain, twill, and satin weaves, even in the same crosswise yarn. Many decorative fabrics are made by the jacquard technique. Yarns woven into unlimited designs, often intricate, multicolor effect.
Expensive, but the design dont fade or wear out. Durability depends on the fiber used. The Jacquard loom was invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard. Method of Construction:. Warp is individually controlled with each pick passage creating intricate designs. Household Uses :. Upholstery, wall hangings. Types of Jacquard fabric:. In leno or gauze weave pairs of warps are twisted over each other with each passing of filling yarn.
The leno weave is the modern descendant of a technique called twining that was used thousands of years ago for making fabrics. In leno-weave fabrics, the warp yarns are paired. A special attachment, the doup or leno attachment, crosses or laps the paired warp yarns over each other, while the filling passes through the opening between the two warp yarns.
