Complex weaves: combinations of the basic weaves create more patterns, fancy fabrics: design produced at the same time as the fabric is woven. More expensive; more permanent design than applied designs; specialized looms required. Figured weaves: weaves with a distinct pattern woven into the cloth. Special attachments to the loom are needed to create figured weaves: small figured weaves are those which repeat on 32 picks or less.
