What is woven fabric

Woven fabric, also known as woven fabric, is a fabric made by interweaving yarns from two systems, warp and weft, perpendicular to each other.

Structural characteristics

In woven fabrics, the longitudinal yarns are called warp yarns, and the transverse yarns are called weft yarns. The warp and weft yarns are interwoven perpendicular to each other, and their basic structures include plain weave, diagonal weave, and satin weave. Different woven fabrics are composed of these three basic structures and their variations

Classification method

According to fiber materials, it can be divided into pure textiles, blended fabrics, interwoven fabrics, etc; According to organizational structure, it can be divided into original tissue fabric, changed tissue fabric, and joint tissue fabric, etc; According to the surface color formation method, it can be divided into colored fabrics, dyed fabrics, printed fabrics, etc; According to surface texture, it can be divided into shiny fabric, wrinkled fabric, plush fabric, etc.

Performance Characteristics

Compared with knitted fabrics, woven fabrics are generally tighter, harder, structurally stable, and have better wrinkle resistance and wear resistance, but their elasticity is usually poor and their extensibility is small.

processing flow

The processing flow of woven fabrics is long, requiring multiple processes such as spinning, warping, sizing, weaving, dyeing and finishing. The process is complex and the production cycle is long, so the price is relatively high.

Application scenarios

Machine woven fabrics are widely used in the fields of clothing and home textiles. Due to its stable structure, clothing with high requirements for shaping and styling, such as shirts, suits, dresses, down jackets, jeans, etc., usually uses woven fabrics. In terms of furniture decoration, woven fabrics are often used for curtains, sofa covers, etc
