Granite Weave
A type of plain weave where multiple warp and weft threads are treated as one, creating a mottled appearance. Examples: Workwear, Heavy duty bags.

Features a smooth, glossy surface with a dull back. The weft threads are floated over warp threads. Examples: Satin, Sateen.
End-on-End Weave
A plain weave with warp and weft threads alternated in color, typically white and a color, for a subtle textured look. Examples: Dress shirts, Summer suits.
Twill Weave
Characterized by diagonal ribs on the fabric. Twill results from passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads, then under two or more. Examples: Denim, Tweed.
Crepe Weave
A weaving style that results in a pebbled texture on the fabric surface due to highly twisted fibers. Examples: Crepe de chine, Georgette.

Basket Weave
A variation of the plain weave with two or more threads woven side by side to resemble a 'basket' effect. Examples: Monk's cloth, Oxford shirting.
Leno Weave
Created by twisting adjacent warp threads around successive weft threads to provide a firm, open weave. Examples: Marquisette, Gauze.
