| Woven |
A fabric composed of two sets of yarns, warp and filling, and dormed by weaving, which is the interlacing of these sets of yarn to form a fabric. There may be two or more wraps and fillings in a fabric, depending on the complexity of the construction. The manner in which the two sets of yarn are interlaced determines the weave. By using various combinations of the three basic weave, plain, twill and satan, it is possible to produce an almost unlimited variety of constructions. Other effects may be obtained by varying the type of yarns, filament or spun, and the fiber types, twist levels, etc. |
| Woven fabric |
Fabrics composed of two sets of yarns. One set of yarns, the warp, runs along the length of the fabric. The other set of yarns, the fill or weft, is perpendicular to the warp. Woven fabrics are held together by weaving the warp and the fill yarns over and under each other. |
