A variation of the plain weave using paired yarns in both directions, creating a flatter, more uniform fabric with reduced gaps and enhanced strength.

Uni-directional fabrics have most yarn running in one direction. These are fabrics where the strength demand is in one direction only. Most uni-directional fabrics have low stability. This can be improved by placing hot melt strands or weave the thin yarn with a leno motion. Both will stabilize the fabric, but it will never be as good as one of the other fabrics. Stability does improve with a tighter weave.

A thick, open – structured weave designed for permeability and effective resin wet-out, offering solid strength with textured surface but limited drape. Yarn runs in groups leaving space in between. Warp and weft lock each other in place at the interlacing.

A fabric with diagonal pattern that offers improved drape, smoother surface, and greater strength than plain weave, though with slightly reduced stability in higher-count twills. Yarns go over 1 and under “many”. In the illustration it is 1-3.

A well-balanced, stable fabric with a wavy surface and clean-cut edges, offering good strength and slower wet-out due to tight interlacing of warp and weft fibers. This is our most stable weave, with most crimp. Yarns go “over-under”.
