Document Summary
Weaving: shedding- raising one or more harnesses to create a space (gap) to put the shuttle, picking, beating up- pushing the yarn into the fabric, take up- winding the finish fabric on the fabric beam. Selvage: runs along same direction as a warp. Skewed: weft is off square but straight. Bowed: weft is off square and curved. Influence of fabric count: table 12. 2 on pg 282. High count: firm, strong, durable, less flexible, less drape, less shrinkage, less raveling at seams, will be wind resistant, water repellant. Low count: softer, supple, a more fluid drape so it can bend, higher shrinkage, more edge raveling cause not as tightly woven. Fabric weaves: plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, all weaves are based on these 3. Plain weave: each yarn criss-crosses over every other yarn (over and under repeatedly over every weft yarn, dark square represents when warp yarn is on top of the weft yarn.
