This presentation introduces six team members and discusses four types of weaves: Mock Leno weave, Bedford Cord weave, Honeycomb weaves, and Sponge weave. Mock Leno weave produces a rough, perforated surface suitable for towels. Bedford Cord weave forms longitudinal cords used for military uniforms and suitings. Honeycomb weaves resemble hexagonal cells and are absorbent, used for towels. Sponge weave has a soft, absorbent cellular structure used for shawls and towels.

2. Aim of this Presentation
To discuss
 About the Mock leno weave
 About the Bedford Cord weave
 About the Honey comb weaves
 About the Sponge weave

3. MOCK LENO WEAVE
Features:
 The surface of the fabric is like net or perforated. So surface is rough.
 Normally repeat size even number. Smallest repeat size is 6 × 6.
 It has the property of water absorbency, so it can be used as towel.
 Even number repeat size is normally used to produce this weave.
 This weave can also be divided diagonally into two equal parts.
Construction Principle:
1. Mark out the repeat size, divide into quarters and fill a small motif in the opposite quarters as
in the first step.
2. Completely reverse this motif in the two remaining quarters by substituting warp lifts for weft
lifts and vice versa in the second step.
3. Combine the first and second steps to give the final weave.

5. End uses:
 Canvas cloths,
 Cheap fabrics for window curtains, Light dress fabric,
 Blouses,
 Aprons.
 Generally employed in combination on with other weaves.

6. BEDFORD CORD WEAVE
Bedford Cord weave is one kind of cord weave, there two kind of cord weave one kind
is Bedford cord and another is pique weave. Here, we will discuss Bedford design.
Feature of Bedford cord
 The Bedford cord class of weaves produces longitudinal warp lines in the cloth with
fine sunken lines (cutting ends) between the cords.
 In one repeat two or more cords are produced.
 Wadding or padding are used to give greater prominence of the cord effect.
 End and picks are always even number, in special case ends may be odd number.
 picks number always 12× 4. 16×4, 20×4 etc.

7. Types of Bedford cords:
 Plain Faced Bedford Cord
 Wadded Bedford Cord
 Crepon Bedford cords
 Bedford arranged with alternative picks
 Twill faced Bedford cords.
Loom requirement for produce Bedford fabric:
A dobby loom with fast reed and heavy beat up is suitable for manufacturing bed ford cord fabrics.
Method of Bedford Construction:
 Lifts with plain weave are first indicated. The number of ends between pair of plains ends vary according
to the width of the cord.
 Insert warp float marks on 1st and 2nd pick of cord and 3rd and 4th pick of other cord.
 Design are completed by inserting plain weave on cord ends.

End use of Bedford cord:
Bed ford cords find an inclusive variety of applications such as dress materials, military
dresses, suiting’s, woolen and worsted fabrics (heavy type).

10. HONEY COMB WEAVES
 The honey comb weaves derive their name from their partial resemblance to the hexagonal honey
comb cells of wax in which bees store their honey.
 These weaves form ridges and hollows which give a cell like appearance to the textures. Usually single
cloths are made by progressively lengthening and shortening both warp and weft floats to form ridges
and hollows on a square pattern, to give a cellular appearance. Sometimes called waffle or waffle pique.
 Both warp and weft threads float somewhat on both sides, which coupled with the rough structure,
renders this class of fabric readily absorbent of moisture.
Types of honey comb weaves: The weaves are classified into two types
1. Ordinary Honey Comb or Honey Comb Proper.
2. Brighton Honey Comb.

11. Ordinary honeycomb weave
Characteristics :
Cell like appearance with ridges and hollows
Single line crossing a single line or double line crossing a double diagonal line
More warp and weft floats
Honey comb fabric has moisture absorbent due to floats.
Ordinary honey comb weave constructed with pointed draft.
A reversible fabric having similar effect on both sides.
The smallest repeat size of ordinary honey comb weave is 6 x 4.
The surface of the honey comb weave is rough due to ridges

12. Steps of Ordinary Honey comb weave construction :
 The stages of constructing an ordinary honeycomb weave are as follows –Construct a 1/a Z twill
starting in the bottom left-hand corner.
 Then a similar one running in the opposite direction and starting one square down from the top left-
hand corner,
 so that there will be a clean intersection of the twill lines.
 The one of the two diamonds produced, leave a row of stitching points and then lift the remainder
of the diamond solid
 The extended view of the Honeycomb weave is shown in the fig
 Prominent diamond shapes on the fabrics created by the long floats of ends.
 Honey comb weave having a repeat size of 8×8 is shown with their drafting and lifting plan.
 The design can be produced with pointed draft and thus the lifting plan resembles the left hand side
of the design.

14. ORDINARY HONEY COMB WEAVE -END USES
 Due to moisture absorption properties these fabrics are suitable for ,Hand towels, glass cloths, dispensed roller towels and
bath mats.
 Coarse cotton qualities it is also used for quilts and soft furnishings.
Brighton Honey comb Weave
Characteristics of Brighton Honey Comb Weave:
 These cloths have face appears different from back side of the fabric. Hence it is non-reversible
 Draft is constructed by straight drafts only
 Repeat size of the design, it is a multiple of 4
 Length of longest float is N/2 –1, where N is the repeat size
 A single diagonal line crosses a double diagonal line
 The smallest repeat size of Brighton honey comb weave is 8x8.
 Fabric surface: Rough.

16. End uses of Brighton honeycomb weave:
Although the weave is not as popular as the ordinary honeycomb, it is used in similar
qualities for more decorative end uses such as quilts and brocades and in some cases, hand
towels and glass cloths. It is also suitable for crockery towels.

17. SPONGE WEAVE
Any one of a variety of weave arrangements that groups ends and picks together in order to form a cellular structure and to
create a soft spongy effect in the fabric. Sponge weave considered on the result of honeycomb effect and also form the cell
like honeycomb weave.
The characteristics features of this weave are as follows:
 The number of ends and picks are always equal.
 10×10 is the smallest repeat size of this weave.
 Straight drafting system is used to produce this weave.
 Low twisted and coarser yarns are used to produce this fabric. So the fabric produced by this weave is very soft and
absorbent.
 For the construction of this weave it is important to calculate the largest float of a diamond. This float depends on the
repeat size of the design.

18.  The following formula is used to calculate this longest float.
 Longest float of diamond
= 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑡 − 1
 It is reversible cloth like honeycomb.
 This weave produces on the sateen base.

19. Sponge weave design
End uses:
Uses include fancy woolen shawls, bed-sheet, towel, bathing wraps and dress fabrics.
It is also used as ground of jacquard.
