Fabric warp face

Repp is warp-faced plain weave fabric. 

The presence of layers of mineralized fabric suggests that the silk fabric may have been wrapped around the blade, but the fabric was altered in the diagenetic context. All evidence of fabric was destroyed on the reverse side of the spearpoint. Furthermore, the shift in the geometric relation of the layers with the same attributes, as indicated in the mapped area, tends to support the wrapping of one fabric rather than the possibility of double cloth or some other compound fabric variant. The Han warp-faced compound tabby (unbalanced plain weave) has two sets of warp that are integrated into one layer and may be considered a compound fabric with complementary warp (16, 17), The reason for the placement of fabric and weapon in the burial context remains a crucial question for reconstruction of past decision making.

By producing fabrics with different components in warp and weft, it may be possible to create a stmcture that utiUses the best features of each. The most popular combinations in this respect are multifilament warp and staple-fibre weft yams (Fig. 3.24) and monofilament warp and multifilament weft yams. In both cases the ratio of warp to weft threads is at least 2 1 and usually considerably higher. This facilitates the production of fabrics with a smooth warp-faced surface for efficient cake release. 

Spacer brics are three-dimensional structures that can be engineered to incorporate a wide range of attributes and hence fulfil specific pre-determined requirements. Knitted spacra fabrics can be produced on both weft and warp kiutting machines. Each of the fabric faces can be designed independently, as well as the middle layer (spacer layer), in terms of yams and structures and this will determine the unique individud properties of each fabric [1,2]. Spacer fabrics have been studied and developed for a few years now but the number of variables that can possibly be input in their constmetion gives such a wide range of possibilities that many are still to be developed and exploited commercially. 

The spacer quality 5870 was a warp knitted fabric and polyester filament and Lycra yams were used on both faces the monofilament used as the spacer yam was also polyester. Both ces were of solid constmction. This fabric was 2.82 mm thidr and had an area density of 461.3 gm ... 

Back warp n. The warp which, along with the back filling, actually forms the second face (back) of double, triple, or quadruple fabrics. 

Barathea bar-3-khe-o [ff. Barathea] (1862) M. (1) A silk, rayon, or manufactured fiber necktie fabric with a broken rib weave and a characteristic pebbly appearance. (2) A fine, dress fabric with a silk warp and worsted filling, woven in a broken filling rib, which completely covers the warp. (3) A smooth-faced worsted uniform cloth with an indistinct twilled basket weave of fine two-ply yarns. 

Bathrobe blanketing n. A double-faced fabric woven with a tightly twisted spun warp and two sets of soft spun filling yarns. The fabric is thick and warm and its filling yams are frequently napped to produce a soft surface. Today s blankets are made of spun polyester, acrylic, or polyes-ter/cotton blends.

Tricot tre-(i)ko [F, fr. tricoterto knit, fr. MF, to agitate, hop ultim. fr. OF estriquier to stroke, of Gr origin akin to OF strtcan to stroke] (1872) n. A generic term for the most common type of warp-knit fabric. It has fine wales on the face and course-wise ribs on the back. It can be made in a plain jersey construction or in meshes, stripes, and many other designs. Tricot is usually made of triacetate, acetate, polyester, nylon, or rayon. 

Velvet fabric n. A warp-pile woven fabric with short, dense cut pile that produces a rich fabric appearance and soft texture. Two methods are used for weaving velvets. In the double-cloth method, two fabrics are woven face to face with the pile ends interlocking. A reciprocating knife cuts through these pile ends to produce two separate pieces of velvet. In the second method, pile ends are lifted over cutting wires that are inserted with the filling and that are withdrawn to cut the pile. Kadolph SJJ, Langford AL (2001) Textiles. Pearson Education, New York. 

Option (b) uses reserve threads in a second layer below the fabric face. If an increase of surface area is required, these reserve threads can be taken and positioned between previously adjacent threads on the fabric surface (Figure 4.16). The additional threads are some kind of distance pieces and should shift warp ends or weft threads apart. 

Figure 4.17 Weave variations and resulting visible surface quality (a) to (g) options to incorporate three weft threads floating at the back side of the fabric in between warp ends on the face side without interruption of the twill 1/2 z weave. (Hombach, 2003).

Pile lpl(3)l n [ME, fr. L pilus hair] (15c) (1) A fabric effect formed by introducing tufts, loops, or other erect yams on all or part of the fabric surface. Types are warp, filling, and knotted pile, or loops produced by weaving an extra set of yams over wires that are then drawn out of the fabric. Plain wires leave uncut loops wires with a razor-Hke blade produce a cut-pile surfece. Pile fabric can also be made by producing a double-cloth stmcture woven face to face, with an extra set of yam interlacing with each... 

Satin Weave n (ca. 1883) One of the basic weaves, plain, satin, and twill. The face of the fabric consists almost completely of warp or filling floats produced in the repeat of the weave. The points of intersection are distributed evenly and widely separated as possible. Satin-weave fabric has a characteristic smooth, lustrous surface and has a considerably greater number of yarns in the set of threads, either warp or filling, that forms the face than in the other set.
