- Description
- Plain weave might be the most basic weave of them all, but it can take you on grand adventures with even the humblest of looms.
When you look at plain weave in detail, it is beautifully simple. The weft travels a regular path over one warp thread and under the next. The warp follows the same pattern, over and under the weft, in a soothing rhythm.
This article covers the basics of plain weave, plain weave in other structures (like overshot, S&W, and undulating twill), and is just a gorgeous piece on this humble and brilliant structure.
