Woven Fabric ( Mystery )

 Hi ......
Present again to give an important information . This is about "Woven fabric" .
Lets start ............
The basics of woven fabric consist of two sets of yarns that are perpendicular to each other. The first set of yarns runs lengthwise through the loom and are set in place prior to weaving. These yarns are called the WARP yarns.
The warp yarns running through the loom can be lifted or left down on any given cycle of the loom. In weaving any of the basic weave patterns the warp yarns are lifted or not lifted in specific patterns with each cycle of the loom. When the cycle of the loom occurs a WEFT yarn is placed across the entire width of the warp yarns.
The weft yarn goes under the warp yarns that are lifted and the above the warp yarns that are left in place creating an interlacing of the weft yarn amongst the warp yarns. 
In the simplest plain weave (also known as a “one by one” or “one over one” weave) every other warp yarn is lifted on the first cycle of the loom, a weft yarn is placed through the ensuing “tunnel” known as the shed. At the end of the cycle the yarns that are lifted are lowered and the yarns that had stayed in position are raised and another weft yarn is placed through the new shed that is created. These cycles of lifting alternate yarns and placing weft yarns through the created sheds forms the basis of woven fabric. The patterns of yarns being lifted and left down may vary according to the weave pattern but the basic concept stays the same for all types of woven fabrics. A fabric is made up of various elements that define the cloth that has been woven. Those elements are included in a fabric construction and fiber description. There are three basic elements of a fabric construction: -
  •  Thread Counts -
  • Yarn Sizes –
  • Weave Pattern
