Houndstooth Weave
Consists of broken checks or four-pointed shapes, usually in black and white. It's often associated with a classic style.
Ripstop Weave
Uses a special reinforcing technique that makes the material resistant to tearing and ripping. Thin reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern.
Twill Weave
Characterized by diagonal ridges formed by the weft thread passing over two or more warp threads and then under one or more warp threads.
Oxford Weave
A basket weave pattern that uses multiple warp threads crossed over an equal number of weft threads. Often used in oxford shirts.
Herringbone Weave
Variant of twill weave that creates a zigzag pattern resembling the bones of a fish, often used in fine woolen suits.
Damask Weave
Similar to brocade but uses a combination of any of the five basic weaves. It features reversible patterns on fabric.
Dobby Weave
Woven on a dobby loom which controls all the warp threads using a dobby head. It creates small geometric patterns within the fabric.
Brocade Weave
A rich, decorative weaving style where patterns are created by a supplementary, non-structural weft in addition to the standard weft.
Basket Weave
Variation of the plain weave where two or more weft and warp threads are woven side by side to resemble a basket pattern.
Seersucker Weave
A lightweight fabric with a puckered surface, usually striped, that is produced by alternating slack-tension warp yarns.
Leno Weave
A method where two warp threads are twisted around the weft thread to provide stability and openness in the weave. Often used for curtains and lightweight fabrics.
Pique Weave
Features raised ribs or cords in the fabric acquired by using various warp and weft floats. Often seen in formal cotton shirts and beddings.
Satin Weave
Features a smooth surface with a high sheen where the weft threads float over several warp threads before going under one warp thread.
Plain Weave
Simplest and most common weave pattern where the weft thread crosses the warp thread alternately. It's balanced, tight, and forms a crisscross pattern.
Jacquard Weave
Complex patterned weave created on a Jacquard loom, where each thread is individually controlled. It's used for intricate designs like brocade and damask.
