Plain weave

Plain weave is the simplest of the three basic weaves in weaving. Obsolete names are " plain weave " for wool fabric and " taffeta weave " for fabric made ​​of filament yarns.

No other fabric has such a close Crossbreeding of warp and weft threads, while each warp thread is alternately above and below a weft thread. The pattern repeat consists of two warp and two weft threads and is marked in the figure by the black squares.

Plain weave point to the right (upper ) and left (lower ) side of the same goods goods image, ie, they are the same compound. In addition, they are the same side, ie, the same number of warp lifts bond and having cuts.

Depending on the type of yarn and fiber and yarn density used is plain woven fabric characterized by high resistance to abrasion and sliding strength, conversely, they are bad for draped ( drapery ).

From the plain weave are some variations:

• Transverse or Kettrips
• Along or Schussrips
• Panama binding

Tissue with Ripsbindungen are characterized by ribs.

The Querrips has a high warp density, the warp cover case two or more weft threads. It is also called Kettrips because most fine warp yarns determine the surface image of the product on the right as the left side goods.

The Längsrips (also Schussrips ) is so to speak the opposite of Querrips. The weft threads overlap two or more identical binding warp threads. Due to the required when weaving high shot density productivity, which is why manufactures Längsrips rare drops. Appearance and properties of the tissue are mainly of income dependent.

The Panama binding shows a cube -like goods picture, which is formed by two or more adjacent identical binding warp threads that cover two or more in the same subject inserted weft threads.
