A woven fabric is formed by the
interlacement of two sets of threads, namely warp and weft threads. These
threads are interlaced with one another according to the type of weave or
design. The warp threads are those that run longitudinally along the length of
the fabric and the weft threads are those that run transversely across the
fabric. For the sake of convenience the warp threads are termed as ends and the
weft as picks or fillings.
Classification of woven fabric
structure: Woven structures are classified into the following categories:
- Simple structure
- Compound structures
Simple structure: In case of
simple structures there is only one series of warp and weft threads. These
threads interlace with one another perpendicularly.
Compound structure: In case of
compound structures, there may be more than one series threads of which one set
forms the body or ground and the other forms the figuring or ornamentation.
