Mock leno weave

Leno mock weave Open weave that resembles a leno. It uses a system of interlacing that draws a group of threads together and leaves a space between one group and the next group. The warp threads do not actually cross each other as in a real leno and, therefore, no special attachments are required for the loom. Used when a high strength is required and the fabric is to remain porous.

Mock leno n. A combination of weaves having interlacings that tend to form the warp ends into groups (with empty spaces intervening) in the cloth, thereby giving an imitation of the open structure that is characteristic of leno fabrics. Mock leno fabrics are used for summer shirts, dresses, and other apparel, and as a shading medium in Jacquard designs.
