Characteristics of Extra Warp Used mainly for patterning vertical designs across the length of the fabric. > Withdrawl of extra warp threads from the cloth leaves a complete ground structure under the fighure. > Does not changes the strength of the fabric. > Damage subjected to wear & tear.
Construction > Base layer- minimum two shafts/ can also use for better stability as well as for exploring structures. > Pattern layer- no shafts depending on the design.
Design possibilities in Extra Warp Stripped or spotted patterns can be achieved. > Scope of introduction of many colors > Generally found in furnishings, borders of sarees, tie cloth.
EXTRA WARP Requires additional warp beamsĹ&#x;(more than one)
EXTRA WEFT Requires only a single warp beam.
As only one type of weft is inserted the production is higher.
Production is less in comparison as more series of wefts can be used.
Striped and spotted effects can be brought out by alternately arranging the figuring threads.
Spotted effects are possible But striped effects are not effective.
Requires good and high strength of Yarns.
Such good strength is not necessary.
The effect is less prominent
The effect is more prominent as compared.
