LEARN ABOUT
WEAVES

VARIOUS kinds of weaving are
" uGcd in making cotton fabrics.
Some are better Tor one purpose,
some for another. The United
States Deartment Of Agriculture
suggests that it IL well for the
housekeaper to know a little
about these weaves.
The warp yarns are those
held parallel to each other I'm the
loom. The filling or ''weft" yarns
are those that are carried back
and forth over and under the
warp by means OF q shuttle. A
firm, close, regular weave with q
great many threads to each inch
of goods is desirable in fabrics
that must be given hard wear. A
looser weave, however, may pro.
duce q fabric satisfactory for
other purposes.
The three types Of weaving
used mostly in the cotton fabrics
are the plain, the twill, and the
satin. The demand for novelty
in design has brought about nu.
merous other weaves, some of
which are variations of these
three. The plain or ''tabby"
weave produces a very durable
fabric, such as plain muslin.
chambray, or kindergarten cloth.
In the twill weave the effect Of
diagonal lires is produced. This
is decorative, strong, and firm,
1t soils less easily than plain
weaves, but Is more difficult to
launder. Mildly twills and denims
are examples. Undulating, broken,
corkscrew and herringbone twills
are common.
The satin weave is related to
the twill and is seen in sateen.
1t is beautiful and. when well con.
structed, durable. In jacquard
weaving yarns are introduced in
a special way so as to produce q
pattern, as in cotton damask or
table. linen. The basket weave,
used in some kinds Of shirtings,
is a variation of the plain weave.
Marquisette is produced by a
special weave, known as the
gauze or leno, in which an extra
warp yarn Is twisted around the
ordinary warps. Dots and figures
are I.ade in a number of different
ways. Genuine dotted Swiss,
made by swivel weaving, Is one
of the best of these methods.
Figures made by short-clipped
threads, which can be pulled out,
are less satisfactory
