What is plain weave fabric?
Plain weave fabric, also known as tabby weave, linen weave, or taffeta weave, is a fundamental type of textile weave characterized by a simple criss-cross pattern formed by the warp and weft threads crossing at right angles.
It is one of the simplest and most common types of weaves used in woven fabrics.
In a balanced plain weave, the warp and weft threads have the same weight and the same number of ends per inch as picks per inch. This weave is strong and durable, making it suitable for various applications in fashion and furnishing fabrics.
Plain weave fabrics often exhibit a checkerboard-like appearance and are sometimes called one-up-one-down weaves or over an under pattern.
