    Weft Pile Fabrics 2

    Uploaded by

    Mina Samy abd el zaher
    Weft pile fabrics include weft plush, corduroy, and figured velveteen. [1] Weft plush fabrics have long pile floats made from materials like wool, mohair, or acrylic anchored by w-shape tufts to make the pile firm. [2] Corduroy fabrics have pile tufts bound in straight lines, creating ribs when cut. [3] Figured velveteen forms ornamental pile designs by varying the ground structure or floating and brushing away figuring threads on the back.

    Weft pile fabrics lecture (3)

    ( weft plush – corduroy – figured )


    Weft plush
     The design for these fabrics are constructed on exactly the
    same principle as plain velveteens.

     Weft plushes are characterized by longer pile floats and


    heavier weight.

     They are mainly employed as upholstery fabrics.

     Due to the long length of the pile weft, the pile yarn is

    anchored to the ground cloth by w – shape tuft , which gives


    it firmness.

     The type of material used for the pile yarn are woolen, mohair
    or acrylic yarns. Sometimes other materials are also used.
    Example : draw weft plush , knowing that

    Ground weave:
    plain 1/1

    Pile weave :
    sateen 4 extended 2 times horizontally

    –
    Weft arrangement :
    1 ground weft : 2 pile weft
    Corded velveteen's
     In these structures the pile picks are bound in , at intervals in a straight line .

     The cutting knife is run right up at the center of the space between the pile
    binding points ,as a result the tufts of fibers project from the foundation in the
    form of cords or ribs running lengthwise of the fabric.

     The finer class of the cords are constructed employing a plain ground with
    finer yarns. In heavier varieties of corduroys, a twill ground is used with
    coarser yarns. Thus fewer pile picks to each ground pick are necessary.

     Designs may be constructed to produce different widths of cords simply by


    varying the space between the binding ends.
    Corded velveteens
     In the simplest cord designs , the pile picks are bound in plain order on two consecutive
    ends.

     the plain binding weave of the pile picks is reversed in alternative cords.In this case the
    design extends over the width of two cords, and each pile pick forms alternatively a long
    and a short float.

     In all the cases one side of each tuft is longer than the other side. The difference in the
    lengths of the tufts results in a circular formation of the cords. The longer side of the tufts
    forms the center, and the shorter side the outer parts of the cords.

    Corded velveteens v and w type
    Classification of corduroys
    Figured velveteen
     In these structures the pile forms an ornamental design.
     Any velveteen weave is suitable for the figure, but the ground structure is varied
    according to the method in which the pile weft is prevented from showing on the surface.
    The figuring threads can be avoided at places where they are not required. There are
    two methods for doing this:
    (i) The figuring threads are tucked in on the underside in the same manner as on the
    face.
    (ii) The figuring threads are floated loosely on the back of the foundation texture, and
    brushed away after the cutting operation.
     Figured velveteens are not produced owing to the very high costs of weaving and
    finishing. Similar effects can be produced much more economically on the principle of
    warp pile.
