The system of yarns running crosswise in a fabric. Also known as fill.
yarn or thread which runs at right angles to the warp. Usually patterns are woven into fabric by changing or manipulating the weft threads.
In weaving, the horizontal threads interlaced through the warp. Also called woof.
The thread that runs the width (side to side) of the rug, between the rows of knots, and helps to hold the rug together.
the horizontal threads in a woven fabric also referred to as 'picks'.
The yarn that is woven across the warps on the loom during weaving.
Yarns that are woven across the warp of a rug, along the width. For knotted carpets, they run the width after each roe of knots.
A loosely interwoven, often ascending growth form; e.g. Thuidium.
The threads that run across a woven fabric.
Yarns which run widthwise in woven carpet interlacing with various warp yarns. Wilton A type of woven carpet and the loom used to manufacture it. Wilton looms have jacquard pattern mechanisms which use punched cards/computer programs to select yarn color. The carpets are often patterned or have multilevel surfaces. (See " Frames.")
Threads that run widthwise in a fabric.
Latitudinal threads forming part of the foundation of a carpet.
in weaving, the threads that run through the warp threads from one edge to the other
Horizontal fibers in fabric; also called woof or filling.
Ref: Rugs & Carpets. The threads that run across the width of the loom and interweave with the warps forming the foundation of a carpet. Each passage of a weft thread is called a shoot. They are usually made of wool or cotton.
The crosswise threads of any woven fabric.
Wefts are yarns woven through warps by means of a shuttle. Wefts are horizontal or crosswise yarns when the fabric is viewed on a loom.
The yarns found in woven fabric running horizontally and interwoven into the warp.
The horizontal (crosswise) threads that intersect the warp (lengthwise) threads in a woven fabric.
The transversely oriented yarns in a weave.
the yarn woven across the warp yarn in weaving
The yarns which run across the roll of fabric.
Yarn running perpendicular to the warp in a woven fabric.
As above, but formed into stitches width-wise.
Yarn or tape in a fabric, orientated perpendicular to the Warp yarn during weaving. This would go from left to right in the body fabric.
See warp above. The weft thread ss that contained in the shuttle of a loom.
The cross weave of a rug.
The thread or yarn which is passed across the loom, through the shed and thus woven across the warp threads.
Fibers or wires running across the width of the cloth as woven.
In woven fabric, the filling yarns that run perpendicular to the warp yarns.
Strands of yarn that run across the width of the rug between warp threads. The weft threads hold the pile knots in place.
Yarn applied to the warp in a certain pattern during weaving to acheive a predetermined pattern.
the yarns that are interwoven crossways to the warp.
The yarns running perpendicular to the warp in a woven fabric; also called "woof."
The yarns woven horizontally through the warps.
These are the filler threads that are woven in and out of the warp threads to form the cloth. They are not usually quite as strong as warp threads
The transverse threads or fibers in a woven fabric; those fibers running perpendicular to the warp.
In weaving a chair seat, the strands that are woven across the weft (from side rung to side rung) forming a pattern.
Threads that run horizontally in a fabric.
In a woven fabric, the yarn running from selvage to selvage at right angles to the warp. Each crosswise length is called a pick. In the weaving process, the shuttle or other type of yarn carrier carries the filling yarn.
Yarns that are woven across the warp of a rug. These threads run the width (side to side) of the rug, between the rows of knots, and help to hold the rug together. Wilton Loom Automated looms popular for producing authentic Oriental rug designs.
the cross-wise filling yarns
In woven carpet, yarn running crosswise between warp yarns.
Threads which run at right angles to the warp
The weft is the yarn that is woven back and forth through the warp to make cloth. ;
The horizontal threads interlaced through the warp in a wooven fabric.
The crosswise exposed threads (those forming the design) on a Navajo weaving
Often referred to as "filling", it is the yarn that traverses the warp yarns (horizontally) during the weaving operation.
Yarns which run across the width of a fabric (also known as filling).
The wires that run across the width of the cloth are referred to as WEFT or shoot wires.
The thread which is threaded with a needle then strung with beads and woven perpendicular to the warp threads on the loom.
The woven threads in a fabric which run across the width of the fabric during weaving and intersect with the warp threads.
The threads which are added in succession to the warp, crossing at right angles in the direction of the width of the fabric. In piled carpets they are invisible on the surface in kilims the wefts are the only threads visible.
Wool, cotton or silk strands inserted horizontally over and under the warp forming the foundation of the rug.
the threads that cross the warp in a woven fabric
Weft threads are the threads you manipulate through the warp to make fabric. They go from right to "weft". Sometimes also called "woof".
Weft is the yarn that traverses the warp yarns horizontally during the weaving operation. A weft is often referred to as filling.
the crosswise yarns in a fabric.
Weft-faced Weft-faced Weave
Threads which run crosswise across the weave of a fabric. Sometimes called the Woof.
In cloth, the threads which run at right angles to the length of the roll.
Weft or woof is the yarn which is shuttled back and forth across the warp to create a woven fabric. In North America, it is sometimes referred to as the "fill" or the "filling yarn".
