Experiment Name :

Study on Analysis of color and weave effect design (cross foot, Dogs tooth).

Introduction:

Most simple and most common type of construction Inexpensive to produce,

durable, Flat, tight surface is conducive to printing and other finishes. The simplest of
all patterns is the plain weave. Each weft yarn goes alternately over and under one
warp yarn. Each warp yarn goes alternately over and under each weft yarn. Some
examples of plain weave fabrics are crepe, taffeta, organdy and muslin.

Objectives:

● To know about the color and weave effect and define face and back.
● Application of color and weave effect.
.

Instruments:

1. Fabric,
2. Counting glass,
3. Needle ,
4. Scissor.

Technical face and back of the fabric:

Steps of Analysis:

1. Firstly take a color and weave effect fabric . then identify the face and back
side of the fabric .

2
 2. After that measure EPI, PPI, GSM of the fabric direction of the warp and weft
crimp percentage of warp and weft .
3. Identify the weave plan of the fabric FN. RS, and then it put on the graph
paper .
4. Weave plan must be short by plane and is situated beside the weave plan.
5. Final calculation by base the date

(A) Weave plan, (B)drafting plan and (C) lifting plan:

The effect of arranging the warp and weft 2:2 order of coloring in the 1/1
plain-weave cloth is shown in the following left figure; similarly the shades indicate
the dark yarns. The weave and color arrangement produce the pattern, which is the
well-known crowsfoot design.

(A) Weave plan, (B)drafting plan and (C) lifting plan:

The most popular weave for color and weave effects is 2/2 twill. With a 4:4
coloring, arranged as in the following figure, it gives a distinctive and decorative
pattern known as dog’s tooth when a relatively fine construction gives a small, and a
hound's tooth when a coarser construction gives a larger pattern.

Conclusion:

In this experiment, I have gained detailed knowledge about the Satin weave.
Our Sir has co-operated enough to complete the experiment. We will be able to apply
the knowledge gained from this experiment in my future careers.
