Abstract:
A method of weaving a single layer multi-colored web (5, 6, 7), having a front side and a rear side, from a plurality of colored warp threads (1, 2, 3) and a single color weft thread for one of emphasizing and suppressing desired colors of the plurality of colored warp threads (1, 2, 3) to achieve a desired pattern for the single layer multi-colored web (5, 6, 7), the method comprising the steps of:selecting the single colored weft thread (4);selecting at least three different color warp threads (1, 2, 3);arranging said at least three different color warp threads (1, 2, 3) adjacent to one another in a desired first sequence of the at least three different color warp threads (1, 2, 3);repeating the desired first sequence of the at least three different color warp threads to obtain adiacent identical sequences of the at least three different color warp threads and the single colored weft thread with the adiacent identical sequences forming a series of repeating identical sequences and each of the at least three different color warp threads in the series being of a single contiguous elongate length of thread;weaving said multi-colored web so that one of said at least three different color warp threads (1, 2, 3) is emphasized to achieve a quantitative admixture on the front side of the multi-colored web (5, 6, 7); andmixing at least two of the at least three different color warp threads (1, 2, 3) in order to obtain at least one new shade of color on the front side of the multi-colored web (5, 6, 7).
