What is a warp and weft fabric?
The warp and weft fabric is woven with armor, that is, a sequence of tangles of threads that creates a decorative or technicalpattern.
The war thread is located in the direction of the length of the fabric. The weft thread is in the direction of the width of the fabric. There are 3 main armors :
- Canvasarmor: it is obtained by inserting alternating weft threads on warp weft threads. The fabric has the same sides place and upside down.
- Thetwill armor: the place is different from the reverse. On the one hand, there is a preponderance of weft wires, on the other side warp threads.
- Satinarmor: the interlacing of threads gives rise to points spaced and evenly distributed.
From these processes, our textile workshop creates and manufactures high-end quality fabrics. Our design office is involved in the modeling of clothing. It carries out technical studies for the standardization of models with a view to their industrialization.
The different types of warp and weft fabrics
Each warp and weft fabric has its specificities. Here is an overview of the composition of the main warp and weft fabrics:
- Cotton poplin: cotton fabric with a very tight mesh.
- The cotton veil: translucent and very thin cotton fabric ideal for making linings.
- Cotton twill: a thicker, sturdier-looking fabric to use for jackets or coats.
- Chambray: cotton fabric with a mottled appearance made with a white or ecru weft thread and with a colored warp thread.
- Chiffon: fabric with very fine cotton threads intertwined.
- Denim: jeans canvas quite rigid and thick.
- Velvet: velvety fabric often composed of a mixture of cotton and polyester.
