Plain Weave
Simplest and most common weave with a crisscross pattern. It's durable and used in cotton dress shirts and quilting fabrics.
Twill Weave
Characterized by diagonal ribs on the fabric surface. It's strong and drapes well, used in denim and chinos.
Satin Weave
Features a smooth, glossy surface and dull back. It's used for formal attire and interior decoration.
Herringbone Weave
A variation of the twill weave that creates a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern, resembling a herring's skeleton. It's used in suiting and outerwear.
Houndstooth Weave
A duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, often in black and white. Commonly used in tweed and woolen clothes.
Basket Weave
Similar to the plain weave but with two or more adjacent weft and warp threads creating a basket-like pattern. It's breathable and used in summer clothing.
Jacquard Weave
Intricate weave created on a special loom called the Jacquard loom. It's used for complex patterns in upholstery and formal garments.
Dobby Weave
A weave with small geometric patterns that are woven into the fabric. This fabric is used for fancy shirting and decorative pieces.
Rib Weave
Exhibits raised rows or ribs across the fabric due to a heavier weft or warp thread. Common in knit fabrics and some upholstery.
End-on-End Weave
A weave that mixes colored threads with white for a heathered appearance. It's a popular choice for dress shirts and summer suits.
Leno Weave
Created by twisting adjacent warp threads around the weft. It's lightweight and airy, making it suitable for curtains and summer dresses.
Brocade Weave
A rich, decorative weave with a raised pattern that often includes gold or silver threads. It's used for upholstery, draperies, and evening wear.
