woven fabrics

Design is prepared for producing woven fabrics. Design is done on paper. A complete for woven fabrics should consist of weave plan, drafting plan and lifting plan

1.Weave plan: Weave plan takes the interlacing of the ends and picks into consideration. It contains ups and downs of each yarn in fabric and the number of ends and picks of a design utilized. It is repeated for the complete design.
2.Drafting plan: Drafting plan shows the number of healded shafts which are used and the order in which the warp ends are threaded through heald eye of the heald shafts.
3.Lifting plan: Lifting plan also known as Peg Plan defines the selections of heald shafts to be raised or lowered on each successive insertion of pick.

Some factors should be taken into consideration during designing.
1.Denting plan: The process inserting warp yarn though reed is called as denting. Denting plan must meet the requirements on orders.
2.Structure: In the manufacture of fabric by weaving on a loom, the techniques interlacing two series of threads at the right angles to each other are called as structure.
3.Texture: The tern texture signifies the general quality of a fabric, developed by the interplacement of yarn used. Weight, bulk and hand feeling are also expressed by the term of texture. Materials, count of yarn and relative density of threads are its main factors.

So only following the design plan of the fabric can know about the woven fabric. In the modern times, various types of complex design are produced. Different kind of woven machines can be used for design, including jacquard loom, dobby loom, water jet loom or air jet loom.

Wrong selection loon will damage to the woven fabric.

Compared with other types of woven fabrics, the structure of plain weave is the simplest. Most of the woven fabrics are made of plain weave and very tight fabric is also formed by plain weave. In plain weave, weft yarn passes through the warp alternatively.

Types of plain cloth:
Plain cloth made of plain weave is commonly seen in the market. Plain cloth is classified into:
1.Muslin
2.Linen
3.Alpaca
4.Taffeta
5.Calico
6.Long cloth

Properties of plain weave:
1.Both side of the weave are identical.
2.It improves the total output of woven fabric.
3.Plain weave is used as different kinds of textile raw materials and yarns, cotton, linen, jute, synthetic fibers, spun and continuous filament yarn, etc.
4.Thread interlacement is in alternative order.
5.The adjacent threads receive the maximum amount of support from each thread.
6.Structure of plain weave is stronger and better than any other structure.
7.Friction as well as stress on warp yarn is reduced by skip draft.

Ornamentation techniques of plain weave:
Various types of plain weave are commonly seen is the market. They have different outlook though they are made by the same design. The outlook of the plain fabric is changed by using ornamentation techniques.
1.Using extremely fine yarn, i.e. Muslim cloth.
2.Using coarse yarn, i.e. Jute Hessian.
3.Using threads of different colors which are combined in check form.
4.Using the threads on both warp and weft that may be varied in color and count.
5.Using Fancy Slub yarn.
6.Using two warp beam in different tension.
7.Using different twisted yarn.
8.Using special shaped reed.
9.Using different textile materials.
