In plain weave , the warp and weft are interlaced in a basic cross-cross pattern , with the weft thread passing over the warp in an over and under sequence.
The final result is a chequerboard appearance , which you can see if you closely examine fabrics such as poplin.]]> 2023-09-19 11:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2710633930 40094847 https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2723021945 Similar to plain weave , however it has two or more yarns combined and woven as one.

Used to create fabrics such as tweed , denim , gabardine.
Twill weave is formed by passing the weft yarn under and over the warp yarn in an alternating sequence , this creates a diagonal ribbed pattern on the fabrics surface. 
The formation of the yarns mean the resulting fabrics are durable and somewhat resistant to tearing ]]> 2023-09-27 12:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2723030860 40094847 https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2723066481 Also known as ‘ broken twill ‘ weave.
Rather than the continuous diagonal lines of twill , herringbone is characterised by v shaped zigzag patterns.
The patterns can be emphasised though using warp and weft threads of different / contrasting colours.

Satin weave is achieved by ‘floating’ the warp of weft yarns over four or more of the opposite yarn before repeating the process again.
The floating method gives the fabric its soft drapery characteristics , but renders it slightly less durable and more prone too snagging than plain weave.
The slippery nature of satin also means that it can be difficult to handle and sew. 

Do you think this has an impact on production time and cost?

Due to the material being easily able to snag , it means it would take more time to sew together and create a garment , because rushing the process would cause bunching or tears in the material. As well as this the cost of the material would be more because its such a delicate Fabric. ]]> 2023-09-27 13:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2723080625 40094847 https://padlet.com/40094847/ry5kpmlvg5bwgpb2/wish/2723093918 Woven on a  special jacquard loom , developed by Joseph - Marie jacquard , a mill labourer who wanted to the painstaking process of weaving more automated in 1805. 
One of the earliest forms of automation / ‘computer’ technology; wooden cards were used to ‘program’ the loom to create elaborate designs (modern jacquard looms are computerised but follow the same principle).
Designs are created by weaving or floating the weft in planned patterns to strategically expose or hide colours.

Corduroy is made by weaving extra sets of fibre into the base fabric to form vertical ridges , which are then cut to form the tufts.
The wales wefts can be woven though once , in a ‘v’ shape , or multiple times ( most commonly ‘w’ shapes). The ‘w’ type of Wale is more sturdy and less likely to pull out with wear.
