Woven Fabric

Woven fabric is a type of textile made by interlacing two or more sets of yarns or threads at right angles to create a stable and durable material. The sets of yarns are known as the warp and the weft, and the process of interlacing them is known as weaving.

In the weaving process, the warp yarns are stretched lengthwise on a loom, while the weft yarns are interlaced crosswise through the warp yarns. The pattern of interlacing the yarns determines the appearance and properties of the fabric, such as its strength, texture, and drape.

Woven fabrics are known for their durability, strength, and stability. They are available in a wide range of fibers and blends, including cotton, wool, silk, polyester, and nylon. Woven fabrics can be produced in a variety of weights and textures, from lightweight and sheer to heavy and thick.

There are several types of woven fabrics, including plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave. Plain weave fabrics have a simple over-under pattern, while twill weave fabrics have a diagonal pattern, and satin weave fabrics have a smooth and shiny surface.

Woven fabrics are used in a wide range of applications, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. Some common examples of woven fabrics include denim, linen, chambray, and flannel.
