13.  This is the simplest form of weaving. It
consists of an alternate interlacing of the
warp & weft yarn, along the entire width of
the fabric.
 Examples of fabrics with plain weave are
organdie, muslin, cambric, poplin, flannel,
and canvas.
 Rib weave: Instead of a single yarn, a
group of yarns is used (as one unit).
 Basket weave: Two or more warp yarns
interlaced with one or more filling yarns.

15.  Satin weave has been long considered a symbol of luxury
and femineity.
 There is a predominance of warp yarns on the surface of the
fabric. These appear as continuous lengths (called floats)
and are tucked in by the weft yarn.
 The diagonal of the satin weave is purposely interrupted in
order to produce a smooth and lustrous surface.
 Satin has high luster, smooth and slippery feel due to floats.
 Sateen is a variation of this weave. There is a weft yarns in
predominance of the weft yarns in form of floats with very few
warps visible.

16.  This is characterized by small, geometrical,
or floral repeat figures.
 The loom may have 24-30 harnesses and is
called a dobby loom.
 A simplified version of with the jacquard
looms, it uses wooden crossbars and metal
pegs.
 Examples include honeycomb and birds
eye. It is not possible to remove the design
without unraveling the fabric.

21.  This is characterized by an open mesh
structure which is achieved through a doup
attachment on the loom. This controls the
warp yarns by moving vertically as well as
horizontally.
 Fabrics produced with such crossed yarn
arrangements exhibits superior strength,
reduced shrinkage and slippage.
