Identification of warp and weft of a fabric:

Warp and weft yarn has some characteristics by which way we can identify the warp and weft yarn.

Followings are the main characteristics of warp and weft yarn of a fabric.

The selvedge direction is a warp direction. In most cases EPI/EPCm is more than PPI/PPCm. Normally warp count is finer than weft count. Warp yarn is more twisted than weft yarn. If any yarn contains any size particle than the sized yarn is warp yarn. Normally stripe effect is done in warp direction (Both woven and printed fabric). Warp yarns are relatively hairy yarn. Warp crimp is expected to be less than weft crimp due to high warp tension on the loom.
