PLAIN WEAVE
The plain weave is also known as "Calico" or "Tabby" weaves. This weave is the simplest weave compare to other weaves. Minimum repeat of plain weave is ( 2 x 2 ). This weave have maximum binding points, causes more strength than other weaves. This weaves is use for muslin,blanket, canvas, dhoti, sari, suiting, shirting etc.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
- First, we draw a graph like as ( 2 x 2 ), ( 3 x 3 ), ( 4 x 4 ) etc.
- Second, we show the interlacement as one warp up over the weft, then one weft up over the warp and so on.
- Third, we draw draft by seeing warp up/down in the weave.
- Fourth, we draw peg plan or lifting plan through the help of draft and weave.
- Fifth, we draw denting order.

PLAIN WEAVE DERIVATIVES
The plain weave may be modified by extending warp way or weft way or both ( warp and weft ) way. The extension of plain weave produces a rib effect in fabric. There are three types of plain weave derivatives as following:
- Warp Rib
- Weft Rib
- Matt/Basket/Hopsack
WARP RIB
- Regular Warp Rib ( 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6 etc. )
- Irregular Warp Rib ( 2/1, 3/1, 3/2, 4/1, 4/2, 4/3 etc. )

| Warp Rib It is the extension of plain weave in weft direction. That is called WEFT RIB. Warp rib is normally used for weft faced contruction. The weft rib also classified in two types according to weft up over the warp as follows:
 Matt Rib WeaveIt is extension of plain weave in both (warp and weft) direction, that is called matt weave. This weave also known as ‘Basket Weave’ and ‘Hopsack Weave’. The matt weave also classified in four types as following:
