A Closer Look at Weaves!
• Woven fabrics have lengthwise(warp) and crosswise (filling) yarns.
• Lengthwise yarns form the foundation of the fabric are generally stronger.
• They run parallel with the fabric’s selvage, the finished edge.
• Crosswise yarns cross over and under the lengthwise yarns….creating a plain weave.
