Plain weave (also called tabby weave, linen weave〔(Linen Weave ) at TexSite.info〕 or taffeta weave) is the most basic of three fundamental types of textile weaves (along with satin weave and twill).〔Kadolph, Sara J., ed.: ''Textiles'', 10th edition, Prentice-Hall, 2007, p. 225-229〕 It is strong and hard-wearing, used for fashion and furnishing fabrics. In plain weave, the warp and weft are aligned so they form a simple criss-cross pattern. Each weft thread crosses the warp threads by going over one, then under the next, and so on. The next weft thread goes under the warp threads that its neighbor went over, and vice versa. *Balanced plain weaves are fabrics in which the warp and weft are made of threads of the same weight (size) and the same number of ends per inch as picks per inch.〔Kadolph, ''Textiles'', p. 229〕 *Basketweave is a variation of plain weave in which two or more threads are bundled and then woven as one in the warp or weft, or both. A balanced plain weave can be identified by its checkerboard-like appearance. It is also known as one-up-one-down weave or over and under pattern.〔Kadolph, ''Textiles'', p. 225-229〕 Some examples of fabric with plain weave are chiffon, organza, and taffeta. ==Designation == According to the 12th-century geographer al-Idrīsī, the city of Almería in Andalusia manufactured imitations of Iraqi and Persian silks called ''‘attābī'', which David Jacoby identifies〔Jacoby, "Silk Economics and Cross-Cultural Artistic Interaction: Byzantium, the Muslim World, and the Christian West" ''Dumbarton Oaks Papers'' 58 (2004:197-240) p. 217, crediting al-Idrīsī.〕 as "a taffeta fabric made of silk and cotton (natural fibers) originally produced in Attabiya, a district of Baghdad." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「plain weave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
