In this type of, the warp and filling threads cross alternately. Plain woven fabrics are generally the least pliable, but they are also the most stable. ||< || The leno weave is a locking type weave in which two or more warp threads cross over each other and interlace with one or more filling threads. It is used primarily to prevent shifting of fibers in open weave fabrics there are several different types of leno weaves two examples are true and mock leno. ||= || In a satin weave, the face of the fabric consists almost completely of warp or filling floats produced in the repeat of the weave, which causes one side of the fabric to look different than the other side. There is one filling thread which floats over three or more warp threads, then under one. This is the most drapeable of weave patterns and conforms very easily around most contoured surfaces. Most satin weaves are either four, five, eight, or twelve harness satins and are typically utilized in the composites industry.

||= || A twill weave is a basic weave characterized by a diagonal rib, or twill line. Each end floats over at least two or more consecutive picks enabling a greater number of yarns per unit area than a plain weave, while not losing a great deal of fabric stability. This type of fabric looks different on one side than on the other ||= || The basket weave is a variation of the plain weave in which two or more warp yarns cross alternately with two or more filling yarns, resembling a plaited basket. This weave is more pliable and stronger than a plain weave, but is looser and therefore, not as stable. The basket weave is typically used in the composites industry. ||= || Knits Did you know that most fabrics are made by weaving or knitting yarns together. Non-woven fabrics are made by bonding or felting fibres together. A fabric's appearance, properties and end-use can be affected by the way it was constructed. The topology of a knit fabric is relatively complex. Unlike woven fabrics, where strands usually run straight horizontally and vertically, yarn that has been knit follows a loopy path along its row, as with the red strand diagram. There are many different types of stitches people can use like the double stitch better know as the swiss darning. The double stitch or the swiss darning is to embordier designs on the surface on soild stitched items. Or one could use a whipstitch it is one of several stitches that can be used put a garment together.
