Publisher's Synopsis
Compound weave means any type of woven structure which involves more than two sets of elements - such as one (or more) warp sets, plus two (or more) weft sets, which are manipulated through different pathways to create a pattern.
This book introduces the concepts of compound fabric structure in a very gentle way. This book takes the reader through the fabric structure variations in fabrics such as damasks, tapestries, brocades, terry pile, velvet, plushes, double cloth, and backed fabrics. A must for textile designers, this book is equally useful for textile technologists and textile chemists in understanding the complexity of these weaves in a simplified manner.
