what is a woven fabric
Woven fabrics. Woven fabrics are made up of a weft-the yarn going across the width of the fabric-and a warp-the yarn going down the length of the loom. The side of the fabric where the wefts are double-backed to form a non-fraying edge is called the selvedge.There are three types of woven fabrics.n satin-weave fabric there is a complex arrangement of warp and weft threads, which allows longer float threads either across the warp or the weft. The long floats mean the light falling on the yarn doesn't scatter and break up, like on a plain-weave.
