Fabric
An assembly of yarn / fiber which form
a structure having length, width, and thickness.
An assembly of two sets of yarn at
right angle to each other which are interlaced to form a fabric.
Weave
The order in which the warp and weft
threads are interlaced in the fabric.
Warp
The length wise set of yarn in a loom
which forms the lengthwise threads of the fabric produced.
Warp count
The unit to define the thickness or
diameter of the yarn used as warp.
End
A single warp yarn is known as end.
Warp density
The number of warp threads per unit
length.
E.g.
End per Inch or End per Cm
The threads inserted across the width
of the fabric, which form the crosswise thread of a fabric.
Weft count
The unit to define the thickness or
diameter of the yarn used as weft.
Pick
A single weft is known as pick.
Weft density
The number of weft threads per unit
length.
E.g. Pick per Inch or Pick per Cm
The width of fabric
The perpendicular distance between the
two edges of the fabric in the direction of the weft.
Standard fabric notation
The parameter by which a fabric is
defined or described
The above notation is standard
but some suppliers use different format.
