Description
One of three fundamental fabric weaving patterns: plain, satin, and twill. Plain weave fabrics are made by passing filling threads over then under each warp thread. The adjacent filling thread reverses the lacing pattern by going under then over each of the warp threads. Both the filling and warp threads are equal in thickness. Plain weave fabrics can the tightly or loosely woven. Examples of plain weave fabrics are: muslin, linen, canvas, chintz, calico, percale, gingham, cambric, organdy, cheesecloth, taffeta, crepe, georgette, seersucker, chiffon, and homespun. Some variations of plain weave fabrics used different size filling and warp threads. Examples of these are broadcloth, grosgrain, poplin, faille, and bengaline.
