GENERAL TERMS OF FABRIC STRUCTURE AND ANALYSIS  

DESIGN

Design is the dispositions of lines. The design indicates the interlacement of warp and weft threads in the repeat of the design. That is called DESIGN. For example we draw a circular line that is called circle, draw some lines and produce many types of structure like as square, rectangle, star, cube etc. all structure are a design.

Design

TEXTILE DESIGN

Those designs which is applied on textile material through printing, interlacement etc. that is called TEXTILE DESIGN.

Textile Design

SELVEDGE

Selvedge is the corner part of fabric, which have more strength and more ends per inch (EPI).

Selvedge

WARP

Those yarn which is parallel to the selvedge of fabric that is called WARP.

Warp Yarn

WEFT

Those yarn which is across to the selvedge of fabric that is called WEFT.

Weft Yarn

THREADING

The process of passing ends through the mail eye of dent that is called THREADING.

Threading

ELEMENTS OF FABRIC STRUCTURE AND ANALYSIS

• Minimum Repeat
• Weave
• Draft
• Peg Plan / Lifting Plan
• Denting Order

MINIMUM REPEAT

Minimum repeat is a minimum area in which a complete design can be shown. For example plain weave minimum repeat is ( 2 x 2 ), twill weave minimum repeat is ( 3 x 3 ) etc.

WEAVE

Weave is a design, which is incorporated on loom machine by interlacement of warp and weft. This process is called WEAVING.

DRAFT

Draft indicates the number of healds to be used to produce a design.

PEG PLAN / LIFTING PLAN

It shows the selection of healds to be raised or lowered at each insertion of picks.

DENTING ORDER

Denting order is the number of ends pass through a dent of the reed. There are two to five ends pass through a dent.
