About Textile weaves name typing

Read and type the names beside the Textile weaves pictures. Practice 12 names in a fixed sequence, from Plain weave to 8-end warp-faced satin, keeping each picture connected with its written term.

Explore twelve representative plain, basket, rib, twill, pointed, diamond and satin weaves.

Vertical teal threads are warp; horizontal gold threads are weft. Compare which thread passes over on the same viewed face, without treating the drawing as material or density data.
