Directional threads in fabric are commonly referred to as "warp" and "weft." The warp threads run lengthwise along the fabric, while the weft threads run crosswise, interlacing with the warp to create the fabric structure. Together, they determine the fabric's strength, texture, and appearance.

What are directional threads in fabric?
The long threads are called the warp and the shorter cross threads are called the weft.
What are fabric threads that pull out called?
Lint.
What are the fine threads in a cloth called?
The fine threads in a cloth are called fibers. These fibers are woven together to create the fabric.
What are lengthwise threads in weaving?
Lengthwise threads in weaving are known as the warp threads. These threads run vertically on the loom and provide the foundation for the fabric. The warp is tensioned and holds the structure of the weave, while the crosswise threads, called weft, are woven in and out of the warp to create the final textile. Together, they form the fabric's overall design and strength.
What was the medieval fabric that was woven from different colored threads to tell a story?
A woven fabric that has coloured threads added to form a picture that tells a story is called a tapestry. Often these were used as wall hangings in castles and stately homes.
The warp of a fabric refers to?
The warp of the fabric means the lengthwise threads in the fabric. The weft is the horizontal weavers of the fabric.
What is weft in textiles mean?
Weft refers to the threads that run horizontally across the fabric during the weaving process. It is interlaced with the warp threads, which run vertically, to create the fabric structure. The weft threads are inserted over and under the warp threads to create different patterns and textures in the fabric.
Why oxford fabric different from other fabric?
Oxford cloth is commonly woven in basketweave (2 threads over/under two threads), and has a lustrous finish.
What is the difference between a mixture fabric and a blend fabric?
A mixture fabric has parts that are made with the type of threads, such as cotton and wool woven in different parts of the fabric, such as stripes of cotton and wool. A blend is when the actual threads are made up of different types spun together and then formed into fabric.
How can I fray fabric effectively and neatly?
To fray fabric effectively and neatly, use a seam ripper or small scissors to carefully pull out threads along the edge of the fabric. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric, and trim any excess threads for a clean finish.
What is a loom used for?
A loom is a device used to weave fabric by interlacing yarn or threads. It provides the structure for the fabric by holding the warp threads taut while the weft threads are woven through. Looms can vary in size and complexity depending on the type of fabric being produced.
What is a synthetic fabric?
Synthetic fabric means that it was man-made with chemicals - it's a fabric that is NOT natural. Examples are polyester, acrylic, rayon, spandex, and nylon. Woven fabric just means the fabric was produced by weaving the threads together (as opposed to knit fabric, where the threads are interlooped, allowing for stretch). Synthetic fabric can be woven or knit.
