INTRODUCTION:
Weaving is the name given to the interlacing of two sets of yarns, warp and weft at right angles and the fabric thus formed is woven fabric.The warp yarns are those yarns which lie in the length direction of a fabric while it is being woven.
The weft or filling yarns are those which, during weaving are introduced between the warp yarns,
across the width direction of the fabric. The warp are also known as ends and wefts as picks. The lengthwise edge of the fabric is called selvage (Self + Edge) Grain indicates a direction parallel to either the warp or filling yarn. The direction not parallel to either of these yarns is called off grain. Woven fabric will elongate most in a direction that is 45° to both sets of yarns and this direction is called Bias.
