Mock Leno Weaves form open structures with small gap.This Type of weave produces an imitation of leno effect , So it is called MOCK LENO weave.
In order to form proper space , proper denting is necessary.
Features:-
Crossing: In this ends are not made to cross each other like true leno
Diagonal Similarity: Weave can be divided diagonally into equal parts.
Repeat size :minimum repeat size used : 6x6. (Even number repeat size used)
Weave Effect: Open perforated weave.
Produced in ordinary way without special leno shafts.
Denting: Ends from each individual group are drawn into same dent ( this bunches the floating end together and causes a slight gap or opening in the fabric. Due to this fabric appearance is similar to leno fabric.)

A woven cloth is formed by the interlacement of two sets of threads, namely, warp and weft threads.
These threads are interlaced with one another according to the type of weave or design. The warp
threads are those that run longitudinally along the length of the fabric and the weft threads are those that
run transversely across the fabric. For the sake of convenience the warp threads are termed as ends and
the weft as picks or fillings.
Warp knitting and crochet machines are used to produce a huge range of warp knitted fabrics (warp knits) for clothing, household textiles and technical textiles. Warp knitting machines are either single needle bar machines or double needlebar machines and are available in a wide range of gauges and widths, Modern machines are electronically controlled in terms of patterning, beam let-off and fabric take-up.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Introduction
Woven fabrics are composed of longitudinal or warp threads and transverse or weft threads, interlaced
with one another according to the class of structure and form of design that are desired. The terms “Chain or
Twist are applied to the warp, and the warp threads are known individually as, “Ends”, while the terms “picks
and filling” are applied to the weft threads. In the following the term threads is used in referring to warp and
weft collectively, but in order to distinguish clearly one series from the other the warp threads are mostly
described as, “ends” and the weft threads as, “picks”.
Fabrics are classified into woven, knitted and non – woven. Woven fabrics are classified into simple,
compound and complex basing on its woven structures. It is dealt with the fundamental aspects of woven
fabrics, formation of fabric in the process of weaving. Warp ends and weft picks interlace with each other in
the process of weaving is graphically represented for easy understanding.

3. CLASSIFICATION OF FABRICS
Woven Fabrics – Woven fabrics are produced on weaving machine which is called as loom, may be handloom or
power loom. Woven fabric is the result of warp and weft interlacement. Woven fabrics are used as dress material and
home Furnishing.
Knitted Fabrics – Knitted fabrics are produced on circular knitted machine. There is no warp and weft weaving
process on this knitting machine. But fabrics are manufactured with one series of threads. Knitted fabrics are used as
casual dress material and under garments.
Non – Woven fabrics – These are manufactured by compressing the fibres and used for Industrial purpose like
laying roads, Helipads, etc. and penetrating into House hold purpose like door mats, cleaning brush, etc.

4. CLASSIFICATION OF FABRICS
Simple Fabrics – Warp and weft interlace at 90° and remain at
its original position.Examples are basic weaves like plain,
twill, sateen and its derivatives.
Compound Fabrics – One series of either warp or weft
rise from the foundation of fabric to form piles.
Examples are Terry, Velvet and Velveteen. And also
multi layer fabrics like double cloth & triple cloth
Complex Fabrics – Some threads inter weave on left and right to
adjacent threads. Examples are Gauze and Leno.

5. Fundamental aspects of woven fabrics:
Fundamental aspects of woven fabrics are its appearance, feel, handle, drape,
weight and strength. Fabric structure subject refers to mostly woven fabrics as per
the syllabus. Woven fabrics are composed of two series of threads namely,
longitudinal and transverse threads. Longitudinal threads are in vertical axis and
transverse threads are in horizontal axis. A sheet of longitudinal threads are called
as, “Warp“ and one thread of warp is called as, “End“. All transverse threads in a
fabric are called as, “Weft” and one thread of weft is called as, “Pick”. Warp is
also called as, “twist or chain” and weft is called as, “filling”. Warp and weft
threads interlace with each other as per the design.

7. Creation of draft, peg plan and tie – up from the weave repeat
Design - Design in textile language will have a definite shape, form and
character. A design will have its shape on number of ends and picks, which
interlace with each other. Mark on design paper indicates end up and blank end
down.
Draft - A draft indicates the number of healds used to produce a given design
and the order in which the warp ends are threaded through the mail eyes of the
healds. Draft is derived from the given design as differently interlacing ends in
its order.
Peg plan - Lifting plan (Weaving or pegging plan) defines the selection of
healds to be raised or lowered on each successive insertion of the pick of weft.
Tie up - Tie – up is the process of connections between heald shafts and treadles
with the aid of lams and “ V “ ropes. Number of heald shafts are 4 which are in
draft, where as treadles are to be decided from peg plan or lifting plan. To
decide number of treadles, read interlacement of all picks in peg plan and allot
Numbers to each differently interlacing pick in its order

8. Types of drafts
The various drafts are classified as follows :
(i) Straight draft
(ii) Pointed draft
(iii) Skip and sateen draft
(iv) Broken draft
(v) Divided draft
(vi) Grouped draft
(vii) Curved draft
(viii) Combination draft

R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
9. Straight draft
This system is particularly useful in weaving very densely set fabrics where normally a
small number of healds is required. In order that the mails will not be too crowded on the
shafts and to reduce friction and rubbing between the ends it is customary to use more
healds than the minimum necessary for the weave.
This is the most commonly used draft. It is the simplest of all the types of draft plans. In
this kind of draft the drafting order progresses successively from first to the last heald
frame. Thus the first warp end of a weave is drawn through the first heald shaft, the second
warp through the second heald frame and so on. One important feature of the straight draft
that distinguishes it from other types of draft plans is that the peg or lifting plan is same as
the design.
15-06-2021

R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
10. Pointed draft
Point drafts are used for weaves which are symmetrical about the centre, and they are
frequently employed to produce waved or diamond effects. The main advantage of this system
is that it allows the production of quite large effects economically which if attempted on the
straight drafts would require almost twice the number of healds.
The method used to construct these drafts and it will be seen that to achieve a well defined
point in the design the ends are drawn in straight order starting with heald 1 and finishing with
the last heald in the number employed, whereupon the order of drawing-in of the consecutive
ends is reversed. The first and the last healds carry only one end each, whilst all the healds in
the middle carry two ends each per repeat of the draft. As a result, using this system of drafting
the number of ends per repeat of the design is: 2 x (No. of healds) less 2.
Further extension of design size is possible with special adaptations of the point draft and
several examples of this are given in chapters devoted to waved twills and diamonds

11. Skip draft
The skip draft is suitable for weaving fabrics having heavy warp
thread density. In this kind of draft plan the number of heald frames
may be twice or more than the minimum required for a weave. The
purpose of using more heald frames than the minimum recommended
is only to distribute the warp threads more uniformly so as to prevent
abrasion of the threads due to overcrowding.
The heald frames are divided into two groups. All even numbered
warp threads are drawn through the first group of heald frames and all
odd numbered warp ends are drawn through the second group of
heald frames. The sateen draft serves the same purpose as the skip
draft.
A skip draft is normally employed for weaves such as plain and twill
upto a repeat of 4. Whereas the sateen draft is used for weaves having
repeat size of more than 5.

R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
12. Sateen drafts:
Sateen drafts: The purpose of sateen draft is similar to
skip draft in that each is used to reduce friction between
adjacent warp ends and to alleviate the overcrowding of
the mails. In sateen drafts, however, this result is not
achieved by duplication of the healds but by staggering
the end placing.

13. Broken draft
A broken draft almost resembles the
pointed draft. However the pointed
effect is broken. This type of draft is
suitable for weaves such as
herringbone twills.

15. Grouped draft
These drafts are employed for the production of stripe and check designs, in
which the stripes have different weaves or their combinations. This draft is
used for producing the fabric with two different stripes. The repeat of the
draft is determined by the number of stripes and the number of threads in
each stripe. The number of shafts in the draft depends upon the number of
stripes and the warp repeat of weave of each stripe

R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
16. Curved draft
Construction of curved twills does not come under any
category.
To decide the draft order, there is no rule need to apply.
To derive and decide the draft, a curved line is drawn to suit
the requirement.
Mark draft over the curved line finalized for curved twill.
Then base weave is arranged as per the draft order.

R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
17. Combined draft
Various methods of drawing in can be combined in one draft for producing a
certain type of fabric. Two or more drafts described above can be applied
simultaneously, for example, straight and skip or sateen, grouped and curved,
and so on. Combined draft is the most complicated and can be chosen only if
there are some technological or economical reasons. The designer having a
great experience can do it properly.

18. Plain weave
The plain weave is variously known as “calico” or “tabby” weave. It is the simplest of all weaves having a
repeat size of 2. The range of application of this weave is wide.
The plain weave has the following characteristics :
(i) It has the maximum number of binding points
(ii) The threads interlace on alternate order of 1 up and 1 down.
(iii) The thread density is limited
(iv) Cloth thickness and mass per unit area are limited.
(v) It produces a relatively stronger fabric that is obtained by any other simple combination of threads,
excepting that of “gauze”or “cross weaving”.

15-06-2021

The principle involved in the construction of plain cloth is the
interlacement of any two continuous threads either warp or weft in an
exactly contrary manner to each other, with every thread in each series
passing alternately under and over consecutive threads of other series
interlaces uniformly throughout the fabric. By this plan of interlacement,
every thread in each series interlaces with every thread in the other series
to the maximum extent, thereby producing a comparatively firm and
strong texture of cloth. A complete unit of the plain weave occupies only
two warp threads and two picks of weft (Fig. 3.1), which is the design for
that weave.

24. Ornamentation of plain weave fabrics
Following are some of the ways to ornament plain weave fabrics:
1) Plain weave is ornamented by using mono colour (single colour) in warp and the same
mono colour in weft, results the formation of solid colour effect.
2) Plain weave is ornamented by using mono colour (single colour) in warp and different
mono colour in weft, resulting the formation of shot effect. This is commercially called as
cross colour or double shade effect.
3) Plain weave is ornamented by using mono colour (single colour) in warp and white in
weft, resulting the formation of cross over effect. This is commercially called as
chambare effect.

resulting the formation of check effect.
6) Plain weave is ornamented by using different
counts like 80 and 20 in warp and only 80 in weft
resulting the formation of rib stripe or doria stripe

warp and silk in weft or vice – versa or any other material, resulting
the formation of union fabric.
9) plain weave is ornamented by using different denting orders like 2
ends / dent for 6 times and 3 ends / dent for 6 times or any irregular
denting order will result the formation of rib effect.
10) Plain weave is ornamented by using two different tension warp
beams to weave seersucker fabrics and is also called as pucker
fabrics.

33. Catch cord technique Catch cord technique for
weaving Warp rib and Hopsack weaves
Catch cord technique is the simplest mechanical device used in handlooms and power looms to weave warp rib
weaves and mat weaves. In case of warp rib and mat weaves, it is necessary to weave more than one pick in the same
shed. Design ‘A’ is 3 and 3 warp rib weave.
In this first, second and third picks are having same interlacement and then fourth, fifth and sixth picks are having
same interlacement. This design can not be woven with out catch cord arrangement. It is not possible to weave more
than one pick in the same shed unless it is held by the selvedges or some other mechanism like catch cord near
selvedges. A Catch cord technique is arranged in the looms, where warp ribs and mat weaves are to be woven. Catch
cord arrangement can be either one side or both sides. First pick is inserted in the first shed, and then the successive
picks are also in the same shed. It is necessary to hold the first and second picks at the selvedges.
Otherwise when second pick is inserted, there will be no second pick instead first pick comes back; hence there will
not be any interlacement for first pick and also the successive picks. In the same style first pick is held by the catch
cord at the right side, second pick in the left side and the process will continue for any number of picks. Hence,
Catch cord arrangement will avoid return of picks in the same shed.
15-06-2021
R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
33
34. Arrangement of the Technique
Out side the selvedges an extra end (Red) on both sides is
drawn through mail eye (harness) or heald wire. This mail
eye or heald wire is taken over a pulley arranged on the
sley sword as shown in the figure and connected to the
picker in shuttle box as in the diagram. When shuttle is
not there in box, extra end which meant for holding the
pick at outside selvedges, will rest on the race board. If
the shuttle enters into the shuttle box, the extra end is
lifted up and holds the pick at the selvedges when the
shuttle moves. Extra end is through the harness Extra end
mail eye or heald mail is connected to picker or to Shuttle
not in box the dobby lever / jacquard hook.
15-06-2021 34
R.PARANTHAMAN, ASST.PROF., IIHT, SALEM
35. Setting and the working of catch cord
The extra end arranged for catch cord (To hold) should touch
the race board when the picker is at the front of shuttle box,
means when there is no shuttle in the shuttle box. If the
shuttle enters the box, picker will move backside of the box
and the extra end meant for catch is lifted up. This will help to
retain any number of picks in same shed. Similar arrangement
on both the sides will help to weave any number of picks in
same shed of warp rib and mat weaves.
Hence catch cord Technique is very essential to weave warp rib
weaves, mat weaves and solid border Sarees/Dhotis. Catch
cord technique is largely used in the industry for the weaving
of solid border sarees because no additional expenditure. The
technique is very much successful for solid border Saree and
Dhoti weaving.
