Weave Patterns

There are several we


eave pattern
ns that can b
be woven. Th
he most com
mmon
weaves are Plain Weaves, Twill Weaves, an
nd Satin Wea
aves. Within each
weave pattern
p
there will be varia
ance based on the threa
ad counts an
nd the
style of th
he weaves.

In a plain

The frequ
uent over/und
der weaving of the thread
ds reduces th
he overall stre
of fabric,, but still pro
oduces a fa
abric that is suited for all but the highest
performa
ance applicattions. Plain w
woven fabrics are generallly the least plliable,
and do not unravel easily. Plain
n weave fab
brics are idea
ally suited fo
or flat
applicatio
ons where drrape and con
nformability a
are not requirred.

Satin We
eave
Satin wea
ave producess a more flexxible fabric than a plain w
weave. The fill yarn
floats over several warp
w
yarns beefore interlaccing under on
ne. Common
n satin
weaves are
a 4-Harnesss Satin, 5-Ha
arness Satin a
and 8-Harness Satin.
4-Harness
4
Sa
atin Weave (4 HS) - In the 4
4HS, also called Crowfoot Satin,
th
he fill yarn pa
asses over th
hree warp ya
arns and und
der one. It is more
pliable
p
than a plain weavee and forms eeasily around
d curves.
5-Harness
5
Sa
atin Weave (5
5HS) - In the 5-Harness SSatin weave tthe fill
yarn
y
floats ovver four warp
p yarns and under one. It is more p
pliable
th
han the plain
n weave and easily conforrms to curved
d surfaces.
8-Harness
8
Sa
atin Weave (H
HS) - The 8-Ha
arness Satin w
weave (8HS) is the
fiill yarn floatss over seven warp yarns and under o
one. It is the most
pliable
p
satin weave
w
and fo
orms well aro
ound compou
und curves.

Twill We
eave
Twill wea
ave is similarr to satin wea
aves in that the fill yarns float over se
everal
intersections. Twill we
eaves have a characterisstic diagonal rib formed b
by the
interlace points in the
e fabric. The rrib is called the twill or twill line. The 2x2
Twill we
eave is the most popu
ular weave for cosmetic or deco
orative
applicatio
ons.
2x2
2 Twill Wea
ave- The 2x2
2 Twill weavee pattern is ccharacterized
d by a
tw
wo-by-two weave
w
wheree two warp yyarns float o
over two fill yyarns,
creating
c
a diiagonal appeearance. Thee twill weave is more p
pliable
th
han the plain
n weave and
d has better drapability w
while mainta
aining
more
m
fabric stability than a harness sa
atin weave. Itt is recomme
ended
fo
or use on parts that have compound ccurves.
