Welcome to our Woven Fabric section.
If you are interested in
learning more about woven fabric or the process
of
weaving fabric,
you will find various links of interest below.
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.
