1. The structure of plain weave fabric
Fabrics woven with a plain weave structure are woven in such a way that warp and weft yarns are interlaced every other yarn. During the weaving process of plain weave fabric, the warp and weft yarns are interlaced to form parallel lines.
Plain fabric is characterized by many interweaving points, firm texture, smooth surface, the same appearance on the front and back, relatively light and thin, and good breathability. The structure of plain weave determines its lower density and rougher touch.
2. Twill fabric structure
The fabric is woven with a twill weave structure. The warp and weft yarns are interlaced to form a diagonal pattern. The warp and weft yarns are interlaced to form a diagonal pattern. The weave points are continuous and the weave structure is changed. The warp and weft yarns are interlaced up and down less than the plain weave. The threads are arranged more closely, so they are tighter and thicker than plain weave fabrics.
Twill fabric is easier to identify. Its characteristics are that it has front and back sides, fewer interweaving points, longer floating lines, slightly rough touch, higher density, thicker product, and stronger three-dimensional texture.
3. The structure of satin fabric
For fabrics woven with a satin weave structure, the warp and weft yarns are interlaced at least every three yarns during the weaving process. At least five warp/weft yarns must be interlaced to form a complete satin weave; the warp and weft yarns are formed in the fabric. There are some separate, unconnected warp and weft points. The warp and weft yarns are interlaced less frequently, with the fewest interlacing points and the longest floating threads. The fabric surface is almost entirely composed of warp or weft floating threads.
Satin fabrics are more expensive and have higher fabric density than similar plain and twill fabrics. Moreover, the cloth surface is smoother, more delicate, soft to the touch, has good luster, bright color, good elasticity, tight texture and not easy to deform, and has an excellent touch. Generally, the yarn count is 40 to 60.
4. Jacquard fabric structure
The fabric of jacquard fabric changes its warp and weft structure during weaving to form a pattern. The yarn count is fine and the requirements for raw materials are extremely high. The warp and weft yarns of jacquard fabric are intertwined and floated to form various patterns. The texture is soft, delicate and smooth, with good smoothness, drape and air permeability, and high color fastness.
Generally, jacquard fabrics can be divided into two types: large jacquard and small jacquard. Jacquard fabric generally means that the proposed patterns are mainly flowers and various patterned graphics; while small jacquard fabric is limited to weaving geometric figures such as strips and plaids. There is a great difference in the difficulty of weaving between the two. The difference is that the cost of large jacquard is higher than that of small jacquard.
