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.

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

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

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.

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