Main types of bonds

Weaving

The crossing of warps and wefts is called weave.

 

Plain weave

Plain weave is the simplest and tightest way of crossing yarns, where the warp yarn is alternately running on and under the weft yarn. Both sides of the fabric look similar.

Twill weave

Recognizable by a diagonal ridge of twill which runs the Z-ridge direction (from left down to right up) or the S-ridge direction. The crossing points are staggered laterally. Twill plain weave is scalene. Looser than plain weave. Relatively soft and loose belt with same justifications.

Atlas weave

Also called satin weave. The single crossing points do not touch each other and are evenly spread.
