Summary of the course Basic Textiles 3 (knitting and weaving) for Fashion & Textile Technologies at Saxion University of Applied Sciences. I got an 8 for both subjects with this summary.
Wicking
Some parts are left open → wicking → absorption of dirt.
Cross section
of a
- When a yarn is able to float → relaxed yarn.
microfiber
- The less interlacing points, the more wicking
……...possibility, the more absorption.
- The less interlacing points, the weaker the fabric.
- You can add a very long float (loop) for extra
absorption, this goes on top of the warp/weft yarns
- Pile yarn = loop velvet/velvetees
3 pick terry towel → slack tension weaving: final beat-up, 2 ground yarns
remain on the same tension. Last beat up, warp yarn is loose because of the
slack beat up. This is how you get loops.

Woven terry = warp pile fabric. The bottom beam provides the ground warp.
Top beam provides the pile warp. Pile yarns form loops.
- The reed will not move into beat-up position until a number of picks
have been inserted. Result: long warp yarn, without any weft yarns.
- The reed moves forward to beat-up position, beating up picks and
pushing the warp yarns → terry loops.
