Rep (fabric)

Of the rib weave is understood in the teaching of the weaving binding a derivative of the plain weave, in which a longitudinal or transverse ribbed surface structure is produced.

When Kettrips, also called Querrips, the warp density, ie the number of warp threads per centimeter increased so much that the weft threads disappear completely under. The tissue image is in color and material that is determined only by the warp, the lengthwise yarns. To enhance the Ripseffekt, two or more weft threads can be injected into a single bin, or it can be used a shot material which is much thicker than the warp threads. Against this real Rips only one shot per setting time is used in fake Querrips as poplin.

When Schussrips, also called Längsrips, the tissue image in color and material, is determined only by the excess material, the transverse filaments. This is generated in real Schussrips fact that several weft threads are injected simultaneously into the tray. For non-real Längsrips the warp density is reduced such that the individually per ligation picked weft threads together slide therein, and the warp threads disappear completely under. A kilim is cast in this technique.

Ripsgewebe is stiff, abrasion and tear resistant and is therefore used for example as upholstery fabric.
