Plain Weave

The plain weave repeats on 2 Ends 2 Picks. The plain fabric comprises a high percentage of the total
production of woven fabrics and it can be produced on a loom with two harness. IT has the highest
number of interlacing as compared with other weaves and therefore it produces the firmest fabric

2. Twill Weave

Twill weave, the second basic weave is characterized by diagonal lines running at angles varying between
15 and 75 degrees. A Twill Weave is denoted by using numbers above and below a line ( such as 2/1 Twill
which may be interpreted as two up one down). There are sever types of basic twill weaves, such as

(a).1/2 Twill (b).2/1 Twill (c).2/2 Twill. (d).2/3 Twill, (e).3/2 (f) 3/3 Twill, (g).4/4 Twill Etc
3. Satin and Sateen Weave

Four or more shafts with warp floats or weft floats in interrupted diagonal. It is very lustrous, excellent
drawable. It shows floated fashion. Its has some subcategories as, Satin, Slipper satin, Crepe back satin
etc.

PAPER WEAVING PATTERNS


Weaving patterns can be simple with a one-up-and-one-down
sequence. Add color to spice up the look.

Begin to introduce variations. Instead of one-up-and-one-down,


change to two-up-and-two-down. This is still quite simple and can be
accomplished by children.

Things become a notch more interesting when you use both patterns
simultaneously:

row 1: two-up-and-one-down

row 2: two-down-and-one-up

A diagonal effect is seen when you offset the pattern in subsequent


rows. Here:

row 1: two-down-and-one-up

row 2: same as above but offset it by one

Similar to the case above with checkerboard effect, the diagonal


effect can be expanded to two-down-and-two-up.

Weaving by groups of 3 or more also exist. Here, the pattern emerges


only if the sample is large enough.

Shown here are patterns with three-up (or three-down) combined with
one-down (or one-up)

Really nice patterns can be achieved if you weave in and out in groups
of 5. Note that the image on the right is the back side of the image on
the left.
This pattern is the same as the one immediately above:
namely, it has a diamond shape but with a dot in the
middle.
