(57) According to the method the heddle frames (5) of the loom are selected and assigned to a plurality of groups. In each of a plurality of picking cycles a group of heddle frames (5) is moved and leveled into the weaving position (up arrow, down arrow) according to the weaving pattern to be woven. During this operation the loom is preferably run at lower speed compared to the selected normal picking speed. This allows for avoiding excessive load of the drive motor and further remarkably reduces warp yarn breakes. The method thus provides for remarkably improved start up conditions of looms. < CO CO CO CO CO "<t o Q_ LU Jouve, 18, rue Saint-Denis, 75001 PARIS ' 1 g. 1 fig. I A) _ , , ncK Number H.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. WOVEN IMAGES: ALL TECHNIQUES CONSIDERED AS EIGHT FIBER ARTISTS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS TOMMYE MCCLURE SCANLIN tmscanlin@gmail.com Weavers through the ages have used labor-intensive ways to create images in fibers, with techniques and equipment ranging from brocades, drawlooms, pick-up weaves, tapestry, and more. With the invention of the jacquard loom at the beginning of the 19th century, the kind of complex image making that was previously only common in laborious hand controlled methods became mechanized. With many alternatives now on hand for making images with weaving some fiber artists move to “high tech” means for their creative expression while others continue to select traditional methods like handwoven, weft- faced tapestry. Curiosity about not only the weaving method and technology selected by an individual, but also the more fundamental question of why one chooses to make images was the beginning point of this investigation.

    TEXTILE DICTONARY A ABNORMAL CRIMP- A relative term for crimp that is either too low or too high in frequency and/or amplitude or that has been put into the fiber with improper angular characteristics. ABRADED YARN- A filament yarn in which filaments have been cut or broken to create hairiness (fibrillation) to simulate the surface character of spun yarns. Abraded yarns are usually plied or twisted with other yarns before use. ABRASION MARK- An area where a fabric has been damaged by friction. ABRASION RESISTANCE- The ability of a fiber or fabric to withstand surface wear and rubbing. ABSORBANCE- The ability of a substance to transform radiant energy into a different form, usually with a resulting rise in temperature. Mathematically, absorbance is the negative logarithm to the base 10 of transmittance. ABSORBENCY- The ability of one material to take up another material. ABSORPTION- The process of gases or liquids being taken up into the pores of a fiber, yarn, or fabric. ACETIC ACID- An organic acid (CH3COOH) widely used in textile applications. It is used in textile wet processing, dyeing and printing, and in the manufacture of cellulose acetate and cellulose triacetate. ACETIC ANHYDRIDE- Anhydrous acetic acid [(CH3CO)2O]. It is used in the acetylation process in the manufacture of cellulose acetate. ACETONE- Dimethyl ketone (CH3COCH3). One of the most powerful organic solvents. Acetone dissolves secondary cellulose acetate and other derivatives of cellulose. It is miscible with water and has a low boiling point (55-56°). ACID-DYEABLE VARIANTS- Polymers modified chemically to make them receptive to acid dyes.

By employing the offset rocking shaft with less moment of inertia and a hollow reed holder, beating is well- balanced. Floor vibration can be reduced. ■ Clear shedding The beating stroke is shortened and the driving parts that are the most essential for the weaving machine to run at high speed are additionally reinforced. By placing the heald frame as close to the cloth fell as possible while keeping the shedding amount, the shedding angle is increased and defective shedding is reduced.

  • How Do We Name a Weave? Weaves Three Basic Weaves
    How do we name a weave? • Fabric structure • Fabric weight • • Yarn balance • Finishes Weaves Basic weaves – Plain weave • Basket weave – Twill weave • even-sided • warp-faced – Satin weave • • Sateen Complex weaves – Figured weave • Lappet, swivel, spot • Jacquard – Pile weave – Leno weave – Crepe and crepe effect Three Basic Weaves • Plain weave : made by weaving one weft yarn over and under each warp yarn, alternating each row. It is the most common type of weave. • Twill weave : • • Satin weave : made by "floating" the warp or weft yarns across several yarns to bring them to the surface. Plain Weaves • Simplest weave, can be made on a loom having only two harnesses. • Weave provides maximum number of yarn interlacings: each warp goes over one fill then under the next, with odd and even yarns weaving opposite to each other. Characteristics of Plain Weave • Raveling related to count & yarn cohesiveness • • • Used in apparel, furnishings, & industrial goods • Weight dictates end use: lighter weights in apparel & curtains; heavier weights in upholstery, draperies, & industrial goods Fairchild’s Dictionary of Textiles, 7th ed. Plain weaves • Simplest and most important of the three basic weaves, used in about 80% of all woven fabric • The plain weave repeats on two ends and two picks. The first end passes over the first pick and under the second pick. The second pick reverses this action, and weaves one down and one up. The weave is executed by passing each filling yarn successively over and under each warp yarn, alternating each row. • • • • Broadcloth, Calico, Muslin, Print cloth, Sheeting, Taffeta • Derivative; Basket weave Plain Weaves • About 90% of all cloth woven is plain weave.
