Fabrics

Jacquard weaving- has the highest level of warp yarn control. This kind of weaving use to use drawloom, which is where warp ends are pulled up by second operator. The term refers to the added control mechanism that automates the patterning.

Plain weave- has weft and warp threads interwined in a alternated way to look like a checkerboard. It is the simplest and most common kind of warp and weft. The 2 kinds are equal and the spacing is equal on the weave.

Satin weave- this kind of weave is more complicated than a plain weave, but it is flexible. It is made by interlacing of threads that are arranged in a way that the face of cloth is covered. Floating warp or weft yarns may bring them to surface.

Twill weave- is made from parallel diagonal ribs from right-to-left or left-to-right. Can be made by interlacing warp threats over 1-2 filling thread all in alternate rows. It will be more pliable than the plain or basket weave but less pliable than satin
