Document Summary
When we design eaves they are designed on a graph. Black square: warp on surface of the fabric, white is weft on surface of fabric. Float: occurs when yarn crosses over two or more yarns in the opposite direction. 2 or more yarns moving as one through a plain weave. Two or more yarns move as one in the weave. Lower thread count, 2 yarns take the place of 1. Hopsack, sailcloth, oxford, oxford chambray, monk"s cloth, canvas, duck. There is a diagonal ridge or wale in the fabric. Wale: a raised line within the weave, orderly has wales. Variations in the twill weave: balanced twill 2/2, warp faced twill 2/1, weft faced twill 1/2. Features: fewer interlacing per inch than a plane weave allows for higher fabric count, steep twill line, diagonal ridge or wale. Bene ts: softer, better single resistance, increased wind resistance, more durable (high warp count)
