1.0 Objectives

● To create different plain woven fabric designs using a specified lifting plan.
● To explore the effect of using multiple colors in both warp and weft directions to
create various stripe patterns.
● To design and analyze fabric structures using basket and matt weave.

2.0 Procedure

2.1 Plain Colour Effects - Warp


1. Initially, the lifting plan of a plain woven fabric was invented .
2. Four frames were used in this creation.
3. Then, for every two ends and pick, two colors were used for the warp and two colors for
the weft.
4. As a result, Figure 1's stripes in the warp direction were produced.
5. The structure was next screen captured in Fabric View and Draft View for the report.

2.2 Plain Colour Effects - Weft
1. First, in the lifting plan, a plain woven fabric was designed.
2. It took four frames to construct.
3. Then, for every two ends and pick, two colors were used for the warp and two colors for
the weft.
4. Thus, the weft-directional stripes were produced as Figure 2 illustrates.
5. Screen captures of the structure in Fabric View and Draft View were then made for the
evaluation.

2.3 Basket Weave
1. In the lifting plan, the basket weave was initially created.
2. There were eight frames used in its development.
3. Then, two colors were used, one in warp and one in weft to modify the color.
4. As a consequence, Figure 3's checkers in both warp and weft direction were produced.
5. The structure was then screen recorded in Draft View and Fabric View for the report.

2.4 Matt Weave
1. The matt weave was first made in the lifting plan according to FIgure 4.
2. In its development, eight frames were used.
3. Then, for both ends and pick, two colors were used for the warp and two colors for the
weft by referring to Figure 4.
4. In turn, the structure looks like “mat” was made as shown in Matt Weave results.
5. Following this, the structure then was screen captured for the report in Fabric View and
Draft View.

4.0 Discussion

In plain color effects - warp (Part 3.1) , the fabric was designed using a pattern
with 4 frames, using 2 colors for the warp and 2 colors for the weft. The colors were
changed every 2 threads and picks to create vertical shapes. This method produced clear
vertical stripes as planned which means changing colors every 2 threads created uniform
stripes, showing that color management is important in fabric design. The stripes were
clear and consistent, useful for both decoration and functionality.

Meanwhile in plain color effects - weft (Part 3.2), the fabric is created similar to
part 3.1, but this time the stripes were in the weft direction. The fabric showed horizontal
stripes. Thus, this showed how changing weft colors can alter the fabric look. The
horizontal stripes were as clear as the vertical stripes one, proving this method is reliable.

After that, in basket weave (Part 3.3) specific threading plan is used, color
arrangement and lifting plan to create a basket weave. The fabric had a thick, textured
basket weave pattern. The basket weave made the fabric thicker and more textured,
suitable for durability and attractive fabrics. The interaction of the warp and weft colors
created a complex visual effect, showing the importance of weave structure.

Lastly, Matt weave (Part 3.4) where the design outcome was predicted based on
the lifting plan and color arrangement given. The fabric had a matt weave pattern, less
pronounced than the basket weave but more textured than plain weave. The matt weave
provided a balance between complexity and simplicity. It blended colors subtly while
maintaining a cohesive design, useful for both decorative and functional textiles.
5.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, the workshop exercises successfully showed how different color
arrangements and weave structures (plain, basket, and matt) affect the visual and structural
properties of fabrics. The exercise highlighted the importance of careful color management and
the role of weave patterns in creating durable and visually appealing textiles, proving that a
systematic design approach ensures clear and consistent results.
