Welcome to the
Woven Fabric website. This textile guide has been designed to help
members of the textile industry and fashion industry learn more about Woven Fabric.
A
woven fabric is a cloth formed by the act of weaving. Wovens only
stretch in the bias directions (between the
warp
and
weft directions),
unless the yarns are elastic. Woven cloth typically frays at the edges,
unless measures are taken to counter this, such as the use of pinking
shears or hemming. Woven fabrics are manufactured on a loom and made of
many yarns woven on a warp and a weft. In other words, the
weaving is the process of forming a fabric on a loom by
interlacing the warp (lengthwise yarns) and the filling (crosswise
yarns) with each other. The three basic weaves are plain, twill, and
satin. All other weaves, no matter how intricate, employ one or more of
these basic weaves in their composition.
