Textile
Weaving: interlacing yarns
Fabric Face: smoother and more lustrous; clearer and brighter print or design; more pronounced finish; floats are on the face
Fabric Back: imperfections and knots; print or design duller and less distinctive; more noticeable tentering marks
Warp Yarns: parallel to the salvage; thinner; stronger; more twist; usually greater in number (in unbalances weaves); straighter and more parallel; usually filament yarns (depending on fabric content)
Filling Yarns: perpendicular to the salvage; bulkier; weaker; less twist; usually fewer in number (in unbalances weaves); usually staple yarns (depending on fabric content)
Plain Weave: most common; most economical; smooth surface; ideal for printing and surface manipulation (tucking and pleating); wear well; lower tear strength; ravel less; wrinkle more; less absorbent
Usage: almost anything
Twill Weave: fewer yarn interlacing woven closely; stronger; good abrasion resistance; softer; more flexible; better wrinkle recovery; drape well; soil less and easily shed soil; wale on the face
Usage: uniforms, jean, suits, coats, sportswear, dresses, skirts, work shirt/cloth, drapery, jackets, scarf, blankets, ties, blouses, linings, industrial fabrics
Satin Weave: even fewer interlacing woven more closely high tread count; snags; abrade; shed soil easily; higher count higher durability, good body (firm), and wind repellency; low thread count more flexible and more wrinkle resistance
Usage: Eveningwear, lingerie, upholstery
Jacquard Weave: creating design; computerized; floral pattern; metallic yarns; designing; reverse coloring; Long floats (brocade)
Woven-Pile Weave: pile=raised /cut loops on the surface; warp ground, filling ground, and pile yarns (either extra filling or extra warp); cut cut-pile fabric (corduroy, velvet, velveteen); not cut uncut-pile fabric (terry cloth: towels) ①Wire Method: a sharp-edge wire cuts the extra warp yarn pile yarn
