Fabric Structure - Woven
Weaving
Warp and Weft
Weaving A woven item consists of two yarn
systems; the warp yarns run lengthways and the
weft yarns run widthways. The desired material
is obtained depending on how the two chainsystems are woven together. There are many
different weaves, but they can all be traced
back to three basic weaves: canvas, twill and
satin
Warp yarns are yarns running lengthwise down
the fabric and from top to bottom of the
weaving loom.
Weft yarns are
yarns running
horizontally
across the
fabric and
fill in between
the warp
yarns across the
width of the loom.
