Preface
Fabric is one of the basic requirements of humans not only for clothing but
also for esthetic and functional purposes. There exist numerous fabric for-
mation techniques, the most common being weaving and knitting. These
techniques produce fabric by interlacing and interlooping, respectively. The
fabric-forming process or fabrication method contributes to fabric appear-
ance, texture, suitability for end use, etc. These fabrics have varying struc-
tures, depending on the interlacement/interlooping pattern of the yarns,
which governs the properties of fabric. Varying the structural design of fab-
ric has significant impact on the esthetics. Fashion industry also focuses on
the design of base fabric to achieve the desired effects.
There is a vast area of application for fabric, as we look around; ranging
from shirting to home textiles and technical textiles. The fabric formation
techniques (weaving and knitting) result in fabrics that greatly differ in
terms of structure. The yarns in weaving are relatively straight with some
crimp, while the yarns in knitted fabrics form a looped structure. Therefore,
the woven fabrics have less extensibility as compared to the knitted fab-
rics. A slight variation in the interlacement/interlooping pattern may result
in a fabric with entirely different properties. Therefore, design of a fabric,
whether woven or knitted, is an important factor in determining the physi-
cal and mechanical properties of the fabric.
This book aims to cover most of the designs used in the production of
woven and knitted fabrics. This book has been organized into two major sec-
tions along with a preliminary portion consisting of two chapters. Chapter 1
of preliminary portion focuses on the introduction to textile f abrics, classifi-
cation, application areas, and global trade. An insight into the CAD software
used in the textile industry for woven and knitted fabrics has been provided
in Chapter 2.
Section I focuses primarily on woven fabric structures, starting with an
introduction to the basics of weaving technique. The conventional weave
structures have been elaborated in Chapter 4, focusing on the techniques to
draw and execute designs on the weaving machine. The fabric structure, its
properties, and the ultimate area of application have also been discussed.
Chapter 5 deals with specialty fabric structures like multilayered fabrics,
shaped structures, and piled fabrics. Chapter 6 includes textile structures
for jacquard weaving, while Chapter 7 acquaints the readers with the use of
color and its application to produce an esthetically appealing fabric accord-
ing to the requirement.
The most important feature of this book is the addition of warp and weft
knitting designs that have been included in Section II. The published litera-
ture on the said topics is very limited. Section II starts with an i ntroduction

2 Structural Textile Design
cotton textiles were woven in India with matchless skill, and their use spread
to the Mediterranean countries. In the first century, the Arab traders brought
fine muslin and calico fabrics to Italy and Spain. The Moors introduced the
cultivation of cotton into Spain in the ninth century. Fustians and dimities
were woven there and in the fourteenth century in Venice and Milan, at first
with a linen warp. Little cotton cloth was imported to England before the
fifteenth century, although small amounts were obtained chiefly for candle-
wicks (Balter 2009). By the seventeenth century, the East India Company was
bringing rare fabrics from India.
1.2 Classification
There exist numerous techniques for fabric formation, and these techniques
are the most usual parameter to classify the textile fabric into woven, knit-
ted, nonwoven, and braided, as shown in Figure 1.1. The conventional fabrics
(woven, knitted, and braided) are produced in such a way that the fibers are
first converted into yarn and subsequently into fabric. However, fabrics are
also produced directly from the fibers, without being converted into yarn.
Such fabrics are termed as nonwoven fabrics.
Woven fabrics are produced by interlacement of two sets of yarns perpen-
dicular to each other, that is, warp and weft forming a stable structure, while
knitted fabrics are made up of interconnected loops of yarn. The bent yarn
in a loop provides stretch, comfort, and shape retention properties to knit-
ted fabric. However, the knitted fabrics are generally less durable than the
woven fabric. Such properties help to determine the end use of a specific
fabric. The chemical and/or mechanical bonding or interlocking of fibers
produces a fabric structure known as the nonwoven fabric. The process of
fabrics formation also determines the name of fabric produced, for example,
felt, lace, double-knit, and tricot.
The selection of method for fabric formation is largely a function of the
properties desired in the fabric. In contrast, the cost of fabrication process is
