Distorted Warp And Weft Effect (14x14,18x18) || Origin studio

Distorted Thread Effect:
Main features of distorted thread effect:
Leno weave can also be used to create a figured appearance by causing a coarse ends to cross a number of standing ends.
In this weave, the crossing end is made to lie at an angle to the normal direction of the warp and weft threads.
Imitations of this effect can be produced by other weaves designed to cause certain selected threads to be distorted.
The latter must float freely on the surface of the fabric; a firm ground weave (e.g.plain) helps to develop the effect.
Types of distorted thread effect:
There are two types of distorted thread effect. Such as - distorted warp effect and distorted weft effect.
The construction principles of these weaves are described as follows:
a. Distorted Warp effect:
The frequency of the distorted threads should be decided and shown as in the following figure, where the design is constructed in stages: After indicating the threads in the warp and weft direction which are essential for forming the distortion, fill in plain weave on all the remaining ends and picks, as at first stage;
• For a warp distortion, lift the preselected warp threads of first stage except where they cross the preselected weft threads, and then lift all remaining ground ends over the preselected weft threads in one group on the first pick and in the other group on the second pick, as at second stage;
• The completed design, third stage, is then formed by combining first and second stage.
When the fabric is relaxed after weaving, the floating ends are distorted and assume approximately the zigzag conformation.
b. Distorted Weft effect:
The frequency of the distorted threads should be decided and shown as in the following figure, where the design is constructed in stages:
• After indicating the threads in the warp and weft direction which are essential for forming the distortion, fill in plain weave on all the remaining ends and picks, as at first stage;
• For a weft distortion, lift the preselected weft threads of first stage except where they cross the preselected warp threads, and then lift all remaining ground picks over the preselected warp threads in one group on the first end and in the other group on the second end, as at second stage;
• The completed design, third stage, is then formed by combining first and second stage.
When the fabric is relaxed after weaving, the floating picks are distorted and assume approximately the zigzag conformation.
Enduses:
Fabrics produced with this characteristic are used in ornamental dresswear and shirting fabrics when produced in light-weight cotton and spun rayon qualities. In heavier qualities they serve
for soft furnishings in cotton, for suitings in worsted and for coats in woolen fabrics. The above close-up view clearly shows distorted weft threads lying on the surface of a cloth which is popular for ladies' dresswear.
