This is an example of plain weave, where no two adjacent thread intersections are the same.
Warp threads run from the front of the loom to the back weft threads run back and forth across the warp threads. Therefore, a piece of woven fabric can be represented by a two-dimensional grid, where every square corresponds to an intersection of a warp and weft thread. Solid cloth is produced as the weft threads travel over and under the warp threads.Įvery intersection of two threads can be characterized as either warp-facing or weft-facing, depending on whether the warp or the weft thread lies on top. Weft threads run back and forth across the width of the loom. Woven fabric is produced on a loom, and the threads that run from the front to the back of the loom are the warp threads. How a loom is used to create clothĪt its simplest, a woven piece of fabric consists of interleaved perpendicular threads. My code turns these numbers into an image, called a weaving draft, and generates a representation of the final woven fabric. Observable is a fantastic place to throw together code to, for example, determine the optimum way to drink boba, visualize a search algorithm, or animate some trains.įor this project, I created a notebook that allows the user to input numbers that describe a loom setup (warp threading order, weft treadling pattern, and a tie-up diagram). See it live and view the source code, all in one Observable notebook BackgroundĪn Observable notebook is an interactive environment for writing and running JavaScript, a web scripting language. I created a JavaScript tool to help me develop weaving patterns. Weaving & Web Development 2019.01.19 I used my tool to generate this weaving draft.
