The basic weaving pattern, in which each thread of the warp is interlaced with filling thread, or woof, is called the plain, or taffeta, weave. The word taffeta probably originated from the Persian taftah, meaning "twist." Familiar names for fabrics in the plain weave are batiste, broadcloth, calico, cambric, crepe, challis, cheesecloth, chintz, muslin, organdy, percale, seersucker, voile, and tweed.  4, record 1, English, - taffeta%20weave

The plain weave, also called ground weave or taffeta weave, is probably the oldest and most basic kind of threads interlacing. Both woven fabric sides show the same pattern. The repetition of a thread interlace is called pattern repeat; with plain woven fabrics it comprises two warp and two weft threats each.  3, record 1, English, - taffeta%20weave

Surface finish ... there are two very popular surface finishes in demand, Plain Weave and Black Matte. Plain Weave is the common "checkerboard" finish that easily demonstrates the presence of graphite in the product ... Plain Weave fabrics that we use on our laminates very often have "tracers", or colored yams that allow manufacturers to verify that fiber position is correct in larger structures.  3, record 2, English, - plain%20weave

Woven fabrics are mostly of simple construction such as the plain weave ... in simple construction there is only one set of warp yarns (the lengthwise yarn) and one set of weft yarns (the cross-wise yarn) making up the fabric, and all are equally responsible for the strength and appearance of the fabric. Patterns and effects are obtained by using various coloured yarns, different size yarns ... The simplest of weaves is the plain weave. Each weft yarn passes alternately over and under each wrap yarn. They are reversible, unless printed or finished, are of firm construction and wear well.  4, record 2, English, - plain%20weave
