pick is missing for a porti- on of the width of the fabric and present
for only a part of the fabric width.

Double Pick

A disruption of the wave pattern similar in appearance to a thick pick

but where two yarns are in the same shed. This defect is
characterized by the presence of two picks in the same shed in a
plain weave fabric.

Dragged-in Weft/Jerked-in Weft/Lashed-in Weft/ Pulled-in Filling

An extra length of weft yarn has been inserted for a part of the fabric

more likely to have this problem. Piece of weft yarn that has been
pulled into the shed from a subsequent pick.

Kinky Weft/Looped Yarn/ Weft Kinks

Weft loops are essentially caused by entanglements of threads in the
warp sheet between the reed and the fell of the cloth.

Mispick/Missing Pick/ Missing Weft Yarns

A bar across the fabric where no weft has been inserted.
