Colour and Weave Effect

A convenient classification of the orders of colouring the threads is as follows: Simple warping & simple wefting. Compound warping & simple wefting. Simple warping & compound wefting. Compound warping & compound wefting. In first & last the order of warping may be the same, or different from the order of wefting. To each order of colouring, simple, stripe, & check weaves may be applied. The style of pattern, which is produced by the combination of each order of colouring with each type of weave, is given in table. In addition to the foregoing styles, special orders of colouring & weaves are arranged to coincide with each other in such a manner as to produce special effects. Methods of producing variety of effect in the same weave & colouring An important factor to note in designing colour & weave effects is that different patterns can usually be obtained in one order of colouring & one weave by changing their relative positions. This is illustrated by the patterns represented in figures below. Each pattern, A to D in figures is produced by the combination of a 4-&-4 order of warping & wefting with a 2-&-2 hopsack weave.

A convenient classification of the orders of colouring the threads is as follows:

Simple warping & simple wefting.

Compound warping & simple wefting.

Simple warping & compound wefting.

Compound warping & compound wefting.

In first & last the order of warping may be the same, or different from the order of wefting. To each order ofcolouring, simple, stripe, & check weaves may be applied. The style of pattern, which is produced by thecombination of each order of colouring with each type of weave, is given in table.

In addition to the foregoing styles, special orders of colouring & weaves are arranged to coincide with eachother in such a manner as to produce special effects.

Methods of producing variety of effect in the same weave & colouring

An important factor to note in designing colour & weave effects is that different patterns can usually be obtainedin one order of colouring & one weave by changing their relative positions. This is illustrated by the patternsrepresented in figures below. Each pattern, A to D in figures is produced by the combination of a 4-&-4 order ofwarping & wefting with a 2-&-2 hopsack weave.

There are two ways in which the change of effect may be brought about:

As shown in figure I, the warp & weft threads may be arranged as to colour in the same mannerthroughout (i.e. 4 dark, 4 light), but with the weave placed in a different position in each case.

As shown in figure II the weave may be placed in the same position throughout, but with the colourpattern commencing in a different manner in each case. In the latter method either the warp, or theweft, or both the warp & the weft colours may be changed in position.

It will be noted that the difference of effect in some cases is very slight, one-half of the patterns when turnedover being simply duplicates of the other half the example, however, is illustrative of the necessity in weaving ofalways retaining the same relation between the colouring & the weave throughout the length of the cloth. Insubsequent examples it is shown that the change of effect thus produced can be made use of, not only indesigning small patterns, but also in the economical production of stripe & check designs in very great variety.
