HANDLOOM
A handloom is a simple machine used for weaving in which no power is used.
1. Wood frame 2. Seat for weaver 3. Warp beam- let off 4. Warp threads 5. Back beam or platen
ADVANTAGE Its give employment a lot. No use of energy or power. One can make and use. Part time work. Hand looms could be set up anywhere, anytime, with little specialized equipment needed. They could be used to weave very basic
They could be modified to produce wide pieces of cloth or narrow ones, depending on the length of the supporting bar or branch. Linen, wool and cotton threads
It not for commercial use. Very old tradition. It is expensive. Time taker.
Plain Weave
Plain weave (also called tabby weave, linen weave or taffeta weave) is the most basic of three fundamental types of textile weaves (along with satin weave and
weft are made of threads of the same weight (size) and the
same number of ends per inch as picks per inch. A balanced plain weave can be identified by its checkerboard-like appearance. It is also known as one-up-one-down weave or over and under pattern. Basket weave is a variation of plain weave in which two or more threads are bundled and then woven as one in the
Structure of Plain Weave In plain weave, each weft thread (filling) passes alternatively over and under each warp yarn in a square pattern. Alternative names It is also known as tabby, homespun or taffeta weave. Manufacture
Appearance It has a flat appearance. There are no distinct designs. However these may be produced if yarns have
2. Warp-faced plain weaves In these fabrics, warp cover factor is greater than that of weft cover factor. This is normally achieved by having
more ends than picks per cm. the warp crimp is also high
in these fabrics, while weft crimp is low. Thus very faint lines across the width of the fabrics are produced. A typical fabric in this group is poplin. A typical construction for a polyester/ cotton poplin shirtings is 50x25; 16 tex x 16 tex; 14% x 93% giving a weight of 130g/m2 and a cover factor of 20.0+9.7 = 29.7.
3. Weft-faced plain weaves This is not a popular group of fabrics as it is normally produced with more than ends per cm, the rate of production in the loom will be greatly
The appearance of a plain fabric can be changed in many ways. 1. The use of colour In the warp direction, colour stripes are produced along the length
Stripes and check effects can be produced by using different yarn count in one or both directions.
4. Different Finishing treatment Treatments such as dyeing mercerizing with caustic soda or coating can change the characteristics of plain fabric.
VOILE AND CREPE FABRICS These are specialized types of plain weave fabrics. These fabrics are produced using highly twisted two fold
