Aim-
Developed various samples of weaving each made from a different structures. Each weave has a special quality and use. Each structure has a role and significance in a wove fabric.
Key elements-
1. Interaction of colours in warp and weft.
2. Design development through change in lifting order.
3. Change in Intensity of beating results in formation of different shapes in the same weave.
Quilted Fabric weave- In this weave two warps are prepared- one is base and another warp will work as stitching points. Filling of 2 ply or 4 ply yarns is done below the warp to give stuffed effect. The design is visible through the stitch points.
Extra Weft weave- The extra weft technique involves physically lifting warp yarns with fingers to insert extra weft and create motifs.
Extra Warp weave- It is on the top or below of the background fabric. The fabric have double thickness depending on the drafting of Extra Warp. Generally, the background is slightly finer than Extra warp, to give decorative and emboss effect.
Special Warp and Weft weave- In this weave 1 & 2 shaft is used to bind the weft, so the problem of floats is eliminated. 1 & 2 are lifted alternatively. The remaining shafts are used for design. Here there is a lot of possibility to play with colour while weaving.
Back Fabric- It shows exactly the opposite colour at the back side of the fabric. Though this weave we can get 2 combination of colours, and there is no wrong side.
Terry weave- It is a single cloth, having rows of loops, formed by warp yarn, with the help of knitting needle or any smooth and uniform rod on both side of fabric. Two beams are required one for upper loop n another for lower loop. Terry cloth is used to make towels.
Leno weave- Here, the warp are not parallel, but are in pairs, because one yarn is crossed over another and then the weft is inserted. This forms a criss- cross weave. It has strength and form lace like structures.
Double cloth- It is a kind of woven fabric in which two or more sets of warps and one or more sets of weft are interconnected to form a two-layered cloth. When two warp and two weft are interlaced geometric patterns are formed.
